Project Description

An Application Programming Interface (API) allows different programs to interact and communicate with one another. REST is a set of rules that describes how the client and server will communicate with each other in the application.

In this project, we will create different microservices using Flask. These microservices will be as follows:

A microservice that will manage the users in the system.
A microservice that will manage the course data in the system.
A microservice that will manage all the user interfaces in the system.

At the end of the project, we will integrate all of the microservices to work as a complete system, where the user will be able to log in, signup, log out, and list all the courses from the database.
