Second check-in for project 2

A link to the github repo can be found here. A lot of progress has been made since the last post. The badge API is wired up and the CSS code is near completion to get it looking like our comp. We unfortunately have not been able to get the search functions up and running yet, so that will be the main focus in the coming days. We have a good idea on how we will get the search API working, and that can be shown with the image below.

The problem with a monolithic design is that changes to one part of the system have the ability to cause issues with other parts of the system. In a business setting where time equals money having downtime due to glitches would result in the loss of revenue for the company. By implementing a microservice architecture our company could section off many parts of the monolithic design making the micro sections easier to manage and fix when something goes wrong. You can also make changes to specific parts of the service without worrying about the rest of the system. Also, microservices can be developed and deployed independently of each other.

One of the questions that we had is if we could get an idea on where to begin with getting the search API started. We need a bit more of an idea on how to do it so we can visualize it and get it implemented.
