Lead Back-End

The center of Lead's product is the Demand Acceleration Platform (DAP). DAP allows users to interact with marketing lead data. A marketing lead is a person who shows interest in a company's products or services. Our customers need marketing leads that are correct and likely to generate business.

We are striving to build a world-class application with microservices that expose their functionality through RESTful APIs.

1. The RESTful API include a Lead data model with the following properties:

   • First Name (mandatory)
   • Last Name (mandatory)
   • Email (mandatory)
   • Company (optional)
   • ZIP Code (optional)
   • Phone Number (mandatory)
   • Date Created

2. The API allow the user to add a new lead to the dataset.

   • A persistent datastore isn't required. The datastore can instead be memory-based. But, the code should be designed in such a way that a persistent datastore could be substituted later.

3. The API allow the user to retrieve all people in the dataset.
