Use env-cmd to load .env file #108

Thanks for providing such a great microservice implementation! This small pull request aims to make the local development slightly easier.

Currently, for local development, the user needs to load environment variables manually. This is particularly cumbersome on Windows PCs since the .env.sample assumes environments that can natively run bash.

By using env-cmd, there is no need for such a manual loading process and the README.md can be a little bit shorter.
