Sprint Challenge

Challenge Overview

In this sprint challenge, you'll build a Music Playlist Service that combines all the concepts you've learned about DynamoDB and RESTful APIs. This project will test your ability to create, read, update, and delete data in a DynamoDB database through a RESTful API interface.

What You'll Be Building

You'll develop a service that allows users to create and manage music playlists. The service will:

• Store playlist and song data in DynamoDB tables
• Provide RESTful API endpoints to manage playlists
• Support creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting playlists
• Allow adding and removing songs from playlists
• Handle proper error cases and status codes

Skills You'll Demonstrate

• DynamoDB Modeling: Design appropriate data models for playlists and songs
• Java Annotations: Use DynamoDB annotations to map Java classes to DynamoDB tables
• Data Access: Implement retrieval of items with partition and sort keys
• Data Modification: Create and update items in DynamoDB tables
• RESTful API Design: Create endpoints following REST principles
• HTTP Methods: Use appropriate HTTP methods for different operations
• Error Handling: Manage and return proper HTTP status codes

Technical Requirements

The project will require you to:

• Implement DynamoDB table creation
• Create annotated model classes for DynamoDB entities
• Build data access classes using the DynamoDB Enhanced Client
• Develop service classes with business logic
• Create RESTful API controllers
• Implement proper exception handling
• Write tests to verify your implementation

This challenge will bring together everything you've learned about NoSQL databases and RESTful APIs to create a functional, real-world application. Follow the setup instructions below to get started.
