Trees of Data

In this task we will look into how we may need to optimize some SQL statements to be much faster.

Guidance

1. Start this project in Github Codespaces¹

   1. Open a new Codespace and point it to this directory
   2. Install extensions as required in your new codespace (e.g. SQL Server)

2. Start the the database with the initial dataset

   1. Start the db docker compose up db (wait until sqlserver manages to start, it may take time)
   2. Start the app docker compose up app (It will generate some test data one can look into, it may take time)²

3. Have a look at the applications API Specification

   1. Open the application using the provided port-forwarding URL (a popup should have appeared after you start the docker container) and append /swagger/index.html to the URL

   NOTE: the application only becomes available after it has finished seeding the DB with initial data. This may take some time!

4. Read the story

5. Read the notes

6. Prepare yourself to interactively work with this repository during the session
