In this challenge, you'll build a JavaScript backend service that provides movie data via GraphQL, storing data in DynamoDB.

Please send back by the emailed submission deadline.

Please do not spend more than 4 hours on this challenge. We value your time and understand this constraint will result in a focused implementation.

Create a JavaScript backend service that:

• Provides a GraphQL API for querying popular movies
• Provides GraphQL functionality to fetch detailed movie information
• Stores and retrieves data from DynamoDB

• Implement using Node.js
• Create a local DynamoDB instance
• Design appropriate table schema for movie data
• Design a clear and effective GraphQL Schema
  • Query for fetching a list of popular movies
  • Query for fetching a specific movie by ID
  • Request for creating a new movie
  • Request for updating/editing a movie

• Feel free to use any packages that you find helpful
• Given the time constraint, focus on implementing the core features with clean code rather than adding extra functionality
• Include documentation for running locally

Your submission will be evaluated based on:

• Functionality: Does the GraphQL API meet the core requirements?
• Code Quality: Is the code clean, well-organized, and maintainable?
• Architecture: Is there a clear architectural approach?
• Performance: Is the API efficient and well-optimized?

• What is a Global Secondary Index and how might you use it with this API?
• What happens if someone wants to make multiple updates at once?
• What is a scan vs a query?
