Create reference implementation that serves mock data

[brylie]

Now that we have initial API definitions, we can make a mock service conforming to the designs. This will help developers to adopt the design. To this end, we can create a contract-first (a.k.a. design-first) reference implementation.

Task

• choose contract-first development framework
• scaffold initial app
• write handler functions to return valid data, conforming to the definition

Resources

• Lepo - Contract-first REST APIs in Django

I would like to help you out with this task but not 100% familiar with Lepo and Django so it might take a some time. Where do you think we could start with this excercise?

Also a bit struggling with github :-)

Ah, hey @evermassen we decided to go with Zalando Connexion instead of Lepo. Connexion has a quickstart guide. Try out the basic example, and we can then look specifically at this project API specs.
