Look inside

You’re a Java developer for a large company that sells stock photography. You’re responsible for the service that ingests images, and this service depends on another subservice: the pricing microservice. As proven by their individual unit tests, each service works as specified. But when the services are combined, new customers are being locked into one pricing table—even those that should have access to pricing that fluctuates depending on factors like promotions, flash sales, and price-tuning. Working in IntelliJ IDEA, you’ll solve this problem by writing an integration test that connects and runs the two services together, allowing you to reproduce the problem locally.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
