This repository contains a set of microservices for converting currencies. The microservices run on Spring Boot applications and contain serveral Spring Cloud components such as Eureka naming server, Ribbon client-side load balancer, Config server, Feign REST Client,

I am planning to expand on this project to obtain live currency exchange rates as well as setting up additional Spring Cloud elements to improve the interactions between the microservices. I will also update the README soon so that the the instructions for deploying the microservices are clearer (possibly deploying from a virtual machine/container). Expect a lot more content to be added soon!

Clone the repository into your local directory to get the source code.

You will need the following software installed on your computer:

• Java 8
• Gradle for building the project
• IntelliJ/Eclipse/STS for running applications on IDE
• Postman for making easy API calls

Please deploy the microservices in the following order:

• spring-cloud-config-server
• netflix-eureka-naming-server
• currency-exchange-service
• currency-conversion-service
• netflix-turbine-dashboard-server

You can make a HTTP GET request for a JSON data of a specific pair of currencies for conversion rate and the amount converted using the following URI:

http://localhost:8080/currency-converter-fallback/from/{from}/to/{to}/quantity/{quantity}

where {from} and {to} are placeholders for the following currency pairs:

• USD/INR
• EUR/INR
• AUD/INR

• Spring - The application framework used
• Gradle - The build automation system used
