Rest API implemented in Spring Boot and deployed on aws ec2.

Requirement

Implement a web-app using java spring-boot. We do not expect a UI but all interactions must be via REST APIs. Expecting following functionalities :

• A user should be able to create his profile.
• A user should be able to add another user in his friend list. Friend list is mutual i.e if A is friend of B, then B is also friend of A.
• A user should be able to remove another user from his friend list. 4. A user should be able to view his friend list.
• Given an input integer K, a user should be able to view all connections at distance K from him.
• Distance is defined as the minimum steps needed to reach from user A to user B. Some examples for more clarity.
  • For example, if A is a friend of B, then distance of B from A is 1.
  • A is friend of B. B is a friend of C. C is a friend of D. Then Distance(A,D) = 3
  • A ⇔ B , B ⇔ C, C ⇔ D, D ⇔ E, C ⇔ E. In this case Distance(A,E) = 3 as E can be reached via C.
• You can either use some database or some in-memory data structure to store information.

Technology stack

• Spring Boot
• Spring Data JPA
• Amazon RDS (MySQL)
• Amazon AWS EC2
