Implement inter-service calls
~2.5hHave the order service check stock with the inventory service using RestTemplate or WebClient.
- 04
Set up the API gateway
~2hConfigure Spring Cloud Gateway to route external requests to the correct backend service.
- 05
Containerize the services
~2.5hWrite Dockerfiles for each service and a docker-compose setup to run them together.
