Welcome to Octank!

Amazon have commercialized drone delivery, and white labeled the service to be used by e-commerce platforms.

The senior leadership team at Octank want to have the first-mover advantage to leverage this capability. They have asked you, their development A-Team, to drop everthing you are working on and develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Your solution needs to be ready for testing by the end of the day, allowing Octank to be the first to market!

To excite our most loyal customers you are going to build a rewards platform. Our customers will have access to a voice enabled platform where they can request a “surprise”. Using machine learning, we will use the customer’s purchase history to determine which of our most popular products they would like the most, and deliver it to them via drone, then collect feedback from them via SMS.

The platform must meet the following business requirements:

  • Leverage existing data on customers, products and purchase history to figure out customer preferences using machine learning.
  • Interact with customers in real-time via a voice interface to identify them and determine a product that would most interest them
  • Have the customer’s details and selected product delivered via an IoT message to the robot platform that will deliver the product
  • Collect feedback from the user immediately after the delivery to ensure they are happy with their experience

The Octank architecture team have decided to leverage the AWS platform to reduce a lot of the heavy lifting and reinventing the wheel that’s often involved with on-premises solutions. A member from the architecture team will be sitting with you to help guide you through the architecture proposed.

Now Go Build!
