GoLang Currency API

GoLang Currency API is a microservice for getting currency exchange rates. The API returns the value of GBP and USD currency against EUR.

Installation

Use the makefile instructions to build a docker image and create a running container ready to serve requests. From the project's root path, run the following commands:

make docker_build_image
make docker_run_container

Or simply run

make all

Usage

The API expose one endpoint that accepts a currency parameter

• currency: the currency code to be requested. Only USD and GBP are supported. If no currency is provided, the system uses GBP as default

ToDo

The API is far from being completed, several items needs to be added:

1. Unit Tests, Acceptance Tests
2. Support for multiple currencies
3. Naive recommendation to exchange money based on the previous week historical data
4. CI/CD pipeline 4.1 Download dependencies 4.2 Build code 4.3 Run Tests 4.4 Deploy to environments
