Backend

• Install the following dependencies with pip (pip install <dependency_name>:
  • flask
  • flask-cors
  • pandas
  • openpyxl
• Afterwards run python3 app.py to start the backend server (Note: If on the Windows VM run python app.py instead)

MongoDB backend

• Create database and insert connection string in '.env' file.
• Run 'npm run dev'.

weekend-scheduler

Goal

To design, deliver and present a bot - which will take input from a selection of options that an SRE will make based on their preferred days they are available to work on weekend shifts, and it will used to produce/create a schedule of the quarter’s weekend shifts based on defined rules/sort, then have the schedule be outputted to a csv file.

Components/Objectives

Web Frontend: Where SREs enter how many shifts they would like for the quarter, and preferred dates. Configurable Backend/Database hosted on a Ntnx cluster, that will store the following information:

• Table for the web input
• Table for the SFDC shift info (slots available per each weekend day shift)
• Stored procedure to follow specific rules and allocate shifts out for the quarter (Requirements Gathering by Interns)
• Output would be a csv that we could ask the SFDC Team to upload and populate our shifts
• Document the creation process of bot and how it functions.

Managers/SREs - requirements (Rules for sorting)

• Allow SREs with the minimal selected working weekend days to be placed first in their preferences.
• Have a variety of SREs skills based on a criteria.

Roles for Project:

• Project Sponsor (Managers/Intern Mentor/SREs/Interns)
• Project Manager - Robert and Gabe
• Project Coordinator - Wilson and Pattie
• Project Team Member - Zoheb, Austin, Adrian, Alex, Chris, Will

Expected by end of internship

• Working Prototype of the “Bot”.
• Presentation of how the “Bot” works.
• High Concept documentation of the “Bot”.
• Documentation of each Interns contribution to the project.
