Code Execution Engine #161
Description
That's a major concern for the Autograder. Maybe the biggest one so far.
We're currently spawning docker containers (and requiring teachers to configure the image!!) for every submission, and we're doing it within the autograder process. That's TERRIBLE and we'll surely run into problems with this. Not to talk about how coupled the code execution engine is.
It would be nice to have:
- A global engine (can run several languages)
- Keeps up within the application (autograder) lifespan
- Keep it extremely decoupled from the system.
- Flexible to outputs and eventual failures
- Fast
