Look inside

You’re a senior developer at Travel World Agency (TWA), which has grown to become the largest travel agency in the world. The company has built a next-generation system that uses a microservice architecture running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). But as TWA’s success has soared, the performance of its reservations microservice has taken a nosedive. TWA has decided to replace the reservation microservice with a new one, using Kotlin and Spring Boot to improve performance and maintainability. Your task is to review the architecture of the existing microservice and create a new one that has the same endpoints as the old one, saves all relevant information, has a default error handler, and communicates with other microservices to access other vital information.
