Look inside

Greengrocer’s monolithic web app is suffering growing pains. As a software developer for this chain of mid-sized supermarkets, your task is to design a supplier API to help define various resources, resource types, and resource relationships. Using an API design-first approach, you’ll design the microservice API’s resource layout, establish data type definitions for the API in YAML, then add CRUD (create, read, update and delete) as well as partial read and update functionalities for price details.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
