Currency-Service

This service is one of the backend services used for a showcase for a microservice architecture. The other services are language-service and country-service. The showcase is part of a guest lecture at the University Stuttgart. The documents to the lecture can be found here.

This project uses Quarkus, the Supersonic Subatomic Java Framework.
