This is a API service in NodeJS to demonstrate a simple proxy service to the open weather API with support for caching and ratelimiting. All the required values for ratelimiting and caching are configuration driven via config directory. Caching is LRU but in a real deployment use distributed in-memory cachers like Redis.

The service can be easily extended to support any backend API service by writing a client that extends the api base client.

Install Git and NodeJs v6 or above

Setup:
