feat: Implement IDR Rate Aggregator Backend Solution

Overview

This PR implements a complete Spring Boot solution for the Allo Bank Backend Developer take-home test, featuring a polymorphic REST API endpoint that aggregates data from the Frankfurter Exchange Rate API. The implementation demonstrates production-ready architecture with clean code, advanced Spring concepts, and comprehensive testing.

Key Features Implemented

1. Polymorphic API Endpoint

• Endpoint: GET /api/finance/data/{resourceType}
• Supported Resource Types:
  • latest_idr_rates: Latest exchange rates with personalized IDR spread calculation
  • historical_idr_usd: Historical IDR/USD rates for date range 2024-01-01..2024-01-05
  • supported_currencies: Complete list of supported currency symbols

2. Strategy Pattern Implementation

• Interface: IDRDataFetcher with resourceType() and fetch() methods
• Concrete Strategies:
  • LatestIdrRatesFetcher: Handles latest rates with spread calculation
  • HistoricalIdrUsdFetcher: Processes historical time series data
  • SupportedCurrenciesFetcher: Fetches currency symbols
• Registry: IDRDataFetcherRegistry provides Spring-injected map-based lookup

3. Startup Data Preloading

• Component: FinanceDataPreloadRunner (implements ApplicationRunner)
• Behavior: Fetches all three resources exactly once at application startup
• Resilience: Continues with fallback payload if upstream API fails (configurable fail-fast mode)
• Storage: Thread-safe in-memory store using AtomicReference for immutability

4. Client Factory Pattern

• FactoryBean: RestTemplateFactoryBean creates and configures RestTemplate
• Configuration: Externalizes base URL, timeouts via @ConfigurationProperties
• Benefits: Centralized client creation, explicit lifecycle control, separation of concerns

5. Personalization & Business Logic

• GitHub Username: joniheri
• ASCII Sum Calculation: joniheri → j(106) + o(111) + n(110) + i(105) + h(104) + e(101) + r(114) + i(105) = 856
• Spread Factor Formula: (856 % 1000) / 100000.0 = 0.00856
• USD_BuySpread_IDR Calculation: (1 / Rate_USD) * (1 + 0.00856)

6. Production Readiness Features

• Error Handling: Global exception handler with appropriate HTTP status codes
• Configuration: Externalized properties in application.yml
• Documentation: Swagger/OpenAPI integration with UI at /swagger-ui/index.html
• Testing: Unit tests for all strategies, integration tests for preload runner
• Code Coverage: JaCoCo reporting (target/site/jacoco/index.html)
• Postman Collection: Pre-configured requests for all endpoints

Architectural Rationale

1. Polymorphism Justification

The Strategy Pattern was chosen over conditional logic in the service layer to isolate each resource-fetching behavior into dedicated classes. This approach prevents the growth of complex if/else chains in the controller, improves extensibility (adding new resource types requires only new strategy classes), and maintains clean separation of concerns. Each strategy encapsulates its own data transformation logic, making the codebase more maintainable and testable.

2. Client Factory Benefits

Using FactoryBean<RestTemplate> centralizes client creation and configuration in a dedicated component, providing explicit control over the client's lifecycle. This approach cleanly separates the concern of client construction from business logic classes and satisfies the requirement to avoid simple @Bean methods for client creation.

3. Startup Runner Choice

ApplicationRunner was selected over @PostConstruct because it executes after full Spring context initialization and dependency wiring is complete. This ensures safer startup orchestration, provides clearer operational intent, and enables easier integration testing by allowing verification of data loading before the application context is fully ready.

Testing & Validation

Automated Tests

• Unit Tests: FinanceDataServiceTest, FinanceDataStoreTest, strategy implementations
• Integration Tests: AlloBankTestApplicationTests (context loading)
• Coverage: JaCoCo generates HTML reports in target/site/jacoco/

Manual Testing Steps

1. Start the Application:

   mvn spring-boot:run

   Wait for "Started AlloBankTestApplication" in logs (data preload completes here).

2. Test Core Endpoints:

   # Home endpoint
   curl http://localhost:8080/
   
   # Finance data endpoints
   curl http://localhost:8080/api/finance/data/latest_idr_rates
   curl http://localhost:8080/api/finance/data/historical_idr_usd
   curl http://localhost:8080/api/finance/data/supported_currencies
   
   # Test invalid resource type (should return 400)
   curl http://localhost:8080/api/finance/data/invalid_type

3. View API Documentation:

   • Open http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html in browser
   • Use "Try it out" buttons to test endpoints interactively

4. Check Test Coverage:

   mvn test jacoco:report

   Then open target/site/jacoco/index.html in browser to view coverage report.

5. Import Postman Collection:

   • Import postman/allo-backend-test.postman_collection.json
   • Update baseUrl variable to http://localhost:8080
   • Run all requests to verify functionality
