Tools Used
This is a project for a fictional company developing an interface to help people find sustainable and local alternatives for their lifestyle in their area.
One of the features is to encourage supporting local growers/crafters/etc., is a Farmers Market lookup. The company uses a Micro Service Architecture, which required me to build out the service that is responsible for providing functionality for Farmers Market & Vendors.
This project also contains a front end element which consumes the API created on the back end element.
