Caching Server for TheCocktailDB

TheCocktailDB is a free API that has a large collection of cocktails. Unfortunately, it has some problems.

• It's a bit slow than what you would want
• The resources are not well structured
• The endpoints and their parameters are very confusing

This project tries to solve those issues by caching the entire API periodically using Redis. It does that by:

• Scheduling an Updater that fetches the API and stores its data on a Redis server periodically
• Exposing a few endpoints that are easier to understand to serve the data from the Redis server This has been moved to tipsee-api
