Dockerize a simple REST API

[krithikvaidya]

Description

Create a simple REST API (that responds to GET and POST requests) in the Web framework of your choice. Then, create a Dockerfile to Dockerize the application. The server should finally run in a container when I type in the following commands in the root folder of the project:

docker build -t rest .
docker run -p 8080:8080 rest

Performing a GET request to the "/" endpoint should return a page saying "Hello", and performing a POST request to the "/" endpoint should return a JSON with the message body "World".

I would like to take this issue. I am going to use Flask + Gunicorn as the framework, then dockerize it.
