    Exercise 1 · 200 XP · 5 objectives checked by tests

    Scandal at the tavern: a customer found the /kitchen/new-dish page and added a “Pippin's Stew, free of charge” to the menu. The kitchen must be closed to the public: only Bruna gets in.

  2. The staff register

    Exercise 2 · 200 XP · 5 objectives checked by tests

    Bruna no longer works alone: Gorm wants to get into the kitchen too, and he has hired Pippin (to wait tables). Declare every staff member in security.yaml, and redeploy at every hire? Unthinkable. The accounts are going to live in the database.
