Build

Build the application with the following command in the root directory of project: mvn clean install
You can build the application without tests too with the following command in the root directory of project: mvn clean install -DskipTests

You can reach the application by the following url: localhost:8080 or by the following Ip-address 127.0.0.1 example
If no rates provided via the post post endpoint then the get endpoint will always return NOT FOUND response

I was not sure about how the system will receive the customer rates. So I have created a separate endpoint
I was not sure if the system will receive more GET booking estimates requests OR more POST requests to persist customer rates. So, my assumptions are as below:
- Persists the rates as it receives at POST rates request without any extra processing (as currently implemented)
  - Always does extra processing on rates at each GET estimates request
- Second option can be:
  - Organise/sort the rates on each POST customer rates request
  - Just calculates the estimates from the organised rates for each GET estimates request
Keeping the rates as list in the service is not a good practice and thread unsafe but in real project we should be loading it from some persisted place. So keeping it in service for the assignment
