Functionality Features

• Responds to an HTTP GET request at /products/{id} and delivers product data as JSON (where {id} will be a number.
• Performs an HTTP GET to retrieve the product name from an external API. (ex. The Big Lebowski (Blu-Ray))
• Reads pricing information from a NoSQL data store and combines it with the product id and name from the HTTP request into a single response.

BONUS/Stretch:

• Accepts an HTTP PUT request at the same path (/products/{id}), containing a JSON request body similar to the GET response, and updates the product’s price in the data store.
