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 while TWA’s success is on the right track, the performance of its reservation microservice is off the rails. As a solution, TWA has replaced the microservice with a new one, using Kotlin and Spring Boot to improve performance and maintainability. Your job is to document the API endpoints for this new microservice—following the Open API 3 standard—to reduce the risk of someone invoking the endpoints incorrectly. You’ll also create custom rules for validating the documentation in an external library, allowing for reuse in other projects across the company.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to document and validate the API endpoints for a microservice, following the Open API 3 standard.
- Create a new endpoint to expose the documentation of the microservice
- Document the different endpoints which need to follow the Open API 3 standard dynamically
- Add a library that checks if the documentation follows the standard or not using predefined rules
- Extract the steps related to the validation so that you can do the validation manually or in a pipeline by running a specific command
- Create custom rules to validate certain aspects of the documentation
