Open the file with app.diagrams.net to view and understand the High Level and Low Level design of the APIs.

Further improvements

You can try implementing the following features, I'll do it in sometime, probably:

1. Add logging functionality.
2. Unit tests (at least).
3. Functional tests for cross service APIs.
4. Design a better sorting mechanism for sort contents by reads and likes.
5. Add pagination for the contents.
6. Improve documenation to include error responses.

You can add your suggestion with a PR too.
