 # Internship roadmap
 
+The first month was dedicated to familiarizing myself with the vocabulary at
+IMC, understanding the context surrounding the team I am working in, and
+learning about the different services that are currently being used in their
+infrastructure. I had to write a first proof of concept to investigate what, if
+any, dependencies would be needed to execute the gateway as a stand-alone system
+for the benchmark. This has allowed me to get acquainted with their development
+process.
+
+After writing that proof of concept, we were now certain that the benchmark was
+a feasible project, with very few actual dependencies to be run: the only one
+that we needed to be concerned with it called the RDS server. The RDS server
+is responsible for holding the information about all trade-able instruments at
+an exchange. The gateway connects to it to receive a snapshot of the state of
+those instruments, for example the mapping from IMC IDs to the ones used by the
+exchange. I wrote a small module that could be used as a fake RDS server by the
+benchmark framework to provide its inputs to the gateway being instrumented.
+
+I am now currently beginning to write the benchmark framework, using what
+I wrote and learned during the previous month.
