The transaction history service provides an efficient readable cache of past transactions, as read from the ledger-db.

The ledger-db service holds the source of truth for the system. The transaction-history reads and caches data from the ledger-db, but may be out of date when under heavy load.

Implemented in Java with Spring Boot and Guava.
