What is Broadway?
Broadway is a distributed system which aims at distributing grading jobs across many grading machines and providing a user-friendly interface for courses to specify grading runs. It consists of a master node (the Broadway API) and many worker nodes (Broadway Graders).
What does the API do?
The master node is a JSON API which serves HTTP requests. It is the point of communication for the grading machines and the courses that are using this service. It uses a database to keep information about courses, grading jobs and worker nodes. The API is responsible for receiving grading run requests, scheduling jobs in the correct order, delegating jobs to worker nodes in the correct format, providing courses with information about grading jobs and handle failures in worker nodes and grading jobs.
