The task

Goal

The goal is to build a full stack web application where the backend service exposes a REST API that serves data to a frontend that visualizes it.

The backend simulates retrieving data from a database, in the ./data folder as if it's being retrieved from a database. The frontend is a simple dashboard that visualizes the data received by the backend. It must have at most one plot/graph. The rest of the information must be visualized in tables.

It is recommended that the backend uses uv as package manager, and FastAPI as API framework.

Expected output

• A brief report (max 1000 words) explaining the key technical decisions
• A dockerized full-stack application complete with Docker compose file that starts the application building the images in frontend and backend.

The output should be submitted as a link to a fork of this repository.

Please do not spend more than 4 hours of work on this task. The report and the code have an equal weight during the evaluation of your submission. However, do prioritize the report in case you do not manage to finish the code, detailing the actions you planned to implement.
