Data Model

Sample Queries - Postgres

-- Movies released since 2024-01-01
select id, title, runtime from movie where release_date >= '2024-01-01';

-- TV Show Seasons released since 2024-01-01
select s.id, s.title as season_title, s.season_number, t.title as tv_show, s.runtime
from season s left join tv_show t on t.id = s.tv_show_id
where s.release_date >= '2024-01-01';

-- Top 10 movies (English)
select v.view_rank, m.title, v.hours_viewed, m.runtime, v.views, v.cumulative_weeks_in_top10
from view_summary v
inner join movie m on m.id = v.movie_id
where duration = 'WEEKLY'
  and end_date = '2025-06-29'
  and m.locale = 'en'
order by v.view_rank;

-- Engagement report
select m.title, m.original_title, m.available_globally, m.release_date, v.hours_viewed, m.runtime, v.views

order by v.view_rank asc;

Development

• The application is a Spring Boot application that uses Spring Data JPA / Hibernate Object/Relational Mapping framework.
• The database schema is defined in these entity classes, and it gets auto-generated when the application starts up.
• After start-up, the application uses Spring Batch to run a batch job to populate the database based on the Netflix spreadsheet reports, and then exports the database schema and data to a SQL script.

System Requirements

• JDK 21, for example: Amazon Corretto 21, Oracle OpenJDK 21, MS OpenJDK 21, etc.
• Docker Desktop

Building and generating the SQL Scripts

Start the database containers:

docker compose up -d

Generate the SQL Scripts:

./build.sh

The generated SQL scripts will be in the build/artifacts folder:

open ./build/artifacts
