🧩 Microservices Design

This project consists of three separate services, each running on its own server:

• catalog-service – Runs on port 3000, handles book search
• order-service – Runs on port 3001, handles book purchases
• frontend-service – Runs on port 3002, acts as an API gateway

Request Flow:

• Search queries → forwarded to catalog-service
• Purchase requests → forwarded to order-service
• order-service communicates with catalog-service to verify stock
