What I have been able to acheive.

1. I was able to build out the specification required for this assignment which include the following:

   • Seller App

   This app enables seller to create account and login into that account.

   • Buyer App

   This app enables buyers to indicate interest in an item by supplying their email address, name and location.

   • Item App

     This app enables an authenticated seller to create an item for sale. Item images are hosted on AWS S3 bucket to free up the server from serving images.

     Sellers can also see the list of items they have created according to the criteria described in the seller story

     This app also takes care of listing all the items in the database that has not been sold.

     Sellers can also view an individual item to see more details about the item.

     It also has an endpoint for choosing a buyer out of all the list of interested buyers.

     Sellers can also delete any item that they want.

     Buyers can also see the list of items they have shown interest in.

2. Cache the endpoint that lists all the unsold items in the database

3. The API is hosted on Heroku
