Email instructions (3 hour timeline):

Part 1:

We have a simple web app for ToDo lists. We'd like to set up some basic monitoring of the application. Given the endpoint: https://u3mpbqz6ki.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/healthcheck Write a health check script in the language of your choice which sends a request to the endpoint, and parses the response. Anything other than {"health":"ok"} is considered an error.

Given that the health check above is successful, perform another request on the endpoint: https://u3mpbqz6ki.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/todo This endpoint accepts JSON POSTs in the form of {"title": "walk the dog"} Your script should parse the response and throw an error for any non-200 response.

Part 2:

Write a script to deploy your health check. It can be deployed as a serverless function, as something that runs directly on a virtual machine, or as any other service with which you feel comfortable (which you feel can showcase a basic knowledge and experience of deployment processes). Since we don't have a test AWS account for you, please use pseudo-code. We don't expect the script to work perfectly as written. You can assume VPCs, Security Groups, Access Keys, Jenkins, etc. are all set up and you have access to them.

Requirements are: send an exit code 0 if successful, 1 if warning, and 2 if error. status 400 responses are considered warnings status 500 responses are considered errors. The script should execute every 5 minutes.
