⁠Currency Conversion Microservice

Currency Conversion Service is used to convert a bucket of currencies. If you want to find the value of 10 USD, Currency Conversion Service returns 600.

• STEP 1 : Currency Conversion Service calls the Currency Exchange Service for the value of 1 USD. It gets a response back saying 60.
• STEP 2 : The Currency Conversion Service then multiplies 10 by 60, and returns 600 back.
