Brief background to my decisions

As it is an MVP I used:

• I kept the project structure very simple
• Flask as its good for prototyping and rapid development
• Pandas as its easy to work with and modify data and its fast
• Highchart js because I saw this as an opportunity to try it out
• Python as it it cross platform, and its what I am comfortable with

With regards to all libraries used:

• They must be well documented
• Well maintained
• Stable and commonly used in production
• Decent sized online community

Other considerations

• No tests due to time limitations
• No database as its serving static data
• Not optomised for web deployment as that was not required by the task brief

Thank you!
