This is a project that simulates an In-Memory Queue.

• sbt
• scala

1. in the project's root folder, run sbt run
2. Send requests to the server either with postman (https://www.getpostman.com/) (import the given postman collection) or with the curl scripts included.

All of the backend features have been implemented, except for the clean the older chunk feature. There was not enough time to produce a front-end.

• The project doesn't have any unit tests / spray tests.
• The consumers ids are not properly tracked in the backend; only the nb. of consumers is tracked.
• The way the queue is accessed is not optimal because to consume 1 item, there is a lock (synchronize) happening everytime. A proper optimization would be to lock on multiple items within the queue based on how many consumers are registered.
• I left a few comments in the code as to where it must be made more elegant / better structured.
