Splitting the services

Let's go with a simple implementation of the suggested separation from a learning perspective. Since we are separating the master and search models, it makes sense to split the services, as the functionality of the search can be considered a downstream function to the Product master.

The getProducts function for a category is part of the search functionality, which can become a complex and independent business area in itself. Hence, it is time to rethink whether it makes sense to keep them both in the same microservice or split them into core Product service and Product Search services.
