Finally found the time
by Jonas AdlerAs 2019 was coming to an end and a bigger client project was just finished, we had some spare time for a side project.
The foreign exchange rate API topic came back to mind and seemed like a good fit. The size of the project was perfect for our time budget and the technologies we wanted to try out.
We started with the following broad goals:
- A high quality API that could serve as a showcase for our work
- GraphQL API as well as REST endpoint
- Quality documentation and example code to ease integration
- Secure connections for every user
- Fast response times
- CI pipeline and testing strategy from the start
