Task: Microservice Cache

The mission is to implement a java microservice that provide the functionality described by the OpenAPI spec included in the jar file.

The cache must have a specifc size and we must keep in that cache the values that are used recently. For example:

Cache size = 3

PUT(0, A)
PUT(1, B)
PUT(2, C)
PUT(3, D)

Cache content:

key, value
3, D
2, C
1, B

PUT(4, X)

Cache content: 
4, X
3, D
2, C

As you can see the (1, B) was removed because the cache size is actually 3

GET(2)

Cache content: 
2, C
4, X
3, D

As you can see the (2, C) was moved to top

PUT(5, J)

Cache content: 
5, J
2, C
4, X

As you can see (3, D) was removed because is the oldest in use

3. execute mvn install:install-file –Dfile=TC-cache-api-0.0.1.jar -DgroupId=com.tc.cache -DartifactId=TC-cache-api -Dversion=0.0.1 for install the jar dependency in your local repository
4. When done, submit (push) all your artifacts to the forked repo.

• Check that all the tests for the microservice passed (successfully)
• Achieve an 80% of code coverage
• We will check with this postman collection [TC - Cache.postman_collection.json](/external-sources/TC - Cache.postman_collection.json)
• Write clean and well-structured code, whenever possible.
• All the parts that can be variables (eg: cache size) must be in a configuration file.
• If needed, include a readme file with further instructions to build and execute the microservice and its associated tests.
