1.0    Project Overview

In this project,  we will build a web service to retrieve and display expiration dates for some products. This web service will take a list Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) as input, and return the expiration dates of each VIN. 

1.1    Competition Task Overview

In this contest, we will build a very simple PoC web service. It will not do any real work, but just need to output some data from the SQL database. The tasks are:

1. Setup the Amazon workspace environment. We have very detailed step-by-step guide (attached in the forum), so this should be easy to do.

2. Get familiar with the existing services and how to use/add services. You will find some tutorials in the forum.

3. Add a web service (getRandomVIN) that simply returns a random value from WC_EXT_XPRD table PRD_SRL column. The purpose is to demonstrate that you can correctly add new service and get data from the database.

After this contest is finished, we will start development contests, so the time you spend on this contest will give you a head start!

When you are ready to start working on this contest, please request workspace in the contest forum.

There is one first place prize of $100, and two second place prizes of $50 each, depending on the submission time.

Final Submission Guidelines
