Assume we have an extensive legacy system and one of the parts is withdrawal processing (the process that allows to transfer money from company to employee accounts). Now we have a chance to completely rewrite the system, including API change (endpoints, DTOs etc). As a technical challenge, we suggest you to take it. You can do whatever you want following the acceptance criteria:
- Use any architecture you are comfortable with
- Use modern Java or Kotlin (we use Kotlin for new code)
- Use Spring boot
- Use any database SQL/NoSQL (please use embedded)
- The code must be tested. We don't expect 100% coverage for this challenge, we want to see that you can write sensible tests. For example, if you have several similar converters, there is no need to test every single class/method, just enough to test one. But for critical logic like the withdrawal process we'd like to see coverage of different scenarios
- We expect to see SOLID principles in action
- We have a list of users (
/find-all-users
endpoint) - A user has several payment methods
- A user can execute a withdrawal request using one of his payment methods
- A withdrawal can be executed as soon as possible (note: it doesn't mean immediately) or scheduled to be executed later
- After the service receives a request it stores a withdrawal object in our DB and sends a transaction request to a payment provider async. Note: for this task, we don't care about a transaction completion
- Fork the repository (in case you want to refactor the existing solution). Or you can create the project from scratch
- Implement your nice solution

for review
We noticed that in the current solution, we are losing some outgoing events about withdrawals. We MUST 100% notify listeners regarding any withdrawal statuses. For example: in WithdrawalService.processScheduled
method, we updated the status to processing in the database (line 89), and then we sent an event (line 90). What if the event failed to send (e.q. connection issues to a messaging provider)?
