Refactor some 'quirky' existing code

This repository is providing the basic a peice of code running in your new workplace.

Whats the code meant to do?

Good question the person nicely left behind no documentation or business requirements...

Now the business wants to change the code.

The business would like to take this project which has been working as part of a lambda function in AWS for 6 months and expand its purpose. BUt you say, we can't add more because its missing..... ?

What will they need once this code is part of an API?

Will it be fit for purpose and will you know whats happening in production in real time to your system?

Why would we do this exercise?

We focus a lot as developers of creating new code that we know everything in, however a rather large part of it is reworking others work - always for a purpose.

The code exists, but the previous developer no longer works for the company anymore, and you've been tasked to improve it.

90% of the code I write now, is refactoring other peoples code ... its only at codersuk and my own projects that I get to clean slate develop something.

TODO
