ASP.NET Core Test Task

We really appreciate your time and effort spent on this exercise!

Here is what we would like you to do:

1. Review the current solution for any design and implementation problems.
2. Write down all your observations.
3. Refactor the existing code to make it easier to maintain, scale and extend.

General overview

• This application is going to be heavy loaded so it should scale out very well. As such, resources should be used efficiently.
• You may notice that the code is quite error-prone in certain places. Think about possible ways of improvement.
• The code should never leave the database in a corrupted state.
• User Entity is an aggregate root. It is going to be extended to have more child entities later on (e.g. Phone Numbers, Document IDs). All of those don't exist without a user.
• Please note that multiple people will be working on this solution simultaneously. Its structure should allow for it.
• The code should be easy to maintain and test.
• Application's API endpoints will be white-labeled (i.e. lots of third parties will be integrating with it). As such, best practices for REST API design should be considered.

How to capture your observations

Please create OBSERVATIONS.md file and write down all your comments. Try to keep them concise and clear.

Code refactoring

You can make whatever changes you need in order to fulfill the requirements listed above. This might include adding new projects, moving some code into those, changing/merging API endpoints, leveraging useful NuGet packages of your choice or anything else.

There is no need to cover the code with unit/integration tests. Though, putting together one or two tests will be a plus.

We don't want you to spend an excessive amount of time on this so if in doubt, please ask. If you realize that this task takes longer than 2-4 hours, please collect all your ideas/suggestions along with your observations.

Good luck and, most importantly, have fun! :)

How to publish the results

Please fork this GitHub repository and make all the changes in there. Once you have finished with the task, please send us a link to your forked repository. In particular, OBSERVATIONS.md file is supposed to reside in it.
