Task Description:

Prepare a REST API in .NET 8 and C#, internally based on a list of tags provided by the StackOverflow API (https://api.stackexchange.com/docs). Project assumptions include:

• Fetch a minimum of 1000 tags from the SO API into a local database or another persistent cache.
• The fetching can occur either at startup or upon the first request, either entirely or gradually for only missing data.
• Calculate the percentage share of tags in the entire fetched population (source field count, appropriately converted).
• Provide tags through paginated APIs with sorting options by name and share in both directions.
• Provide an API method to force re-fetching of tags from SO.
• Provide the OpenAPI definition for the prepared API methods.
• Include logging, error handling, and runtime service configuration.
• Prepare a few selected internal unit tests for service implementation.
• Prepare a few selected integration tests based on the provided API.
• Utilize containerization to ensure repeatable building and running of the project.
• Publish the solution in a GitHub repository.
• The entire solution should run with just the command "docker compose up".

1. Clone this repository.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
