Creating a REST Service with Python

Following our example in the last chapter, we split the system designed as a monolith into smaller services. In this chapter, we will analyze in detail one of the microservices (Thoughts Backend) that we mentioned in the previous chapter.

We will discuss different elements such as the API design, the database schema that supports it, and how to implement and how to implement the microservice. Finally, we'll see how to test the application to be sure that it works correctly.
