Design Principles:

The design of this application relies on the facade design pattern. Here's a very high level overview:

• A controller receives a request from the front end and intiates the creation of a facade, and passes it data(params, from JSON or query).
• A facade is a ruby class that initializes a Service, and sends the service data to a PORO.
• A service calls an external api enpoint and returns parsed JSON.
• The parsed JSON is turned into a Ruby object through a PORO.
• The object is serialized and sent to the route matching the controller action.
