BigTime® Inc. is a company that thrives on selling innovative products to the general consumer market such as:

BigTime® BigBox: 🕰 a massive device that can give the time using a round dial
BigTime® BigBox Mini: ⌚️ same feature, but with a smaller form factor that can be conveniently carried on the wrist.

Those have been hits on the general consumer market. But the company CEO, Jan-Michael van de Cloq, wants to expand the targeted client base by including a new (strange) population: software developers.

A freshly hired product manager, let's call him L., has been tasked with creating an MVP of an HTTP REST API that will provide software developers around the world an easy way to tell time. After thourough investigations on which tech stack to use, L. has settle on going serverless with Amazon Web Services' API Gateway and Lambda.

CTO's a Slytherin, solution should be written in Python 3 🐍
