Overview:

1. This microservice produces the UTC as well as unix date when the endpoint is satisfied.
2. The API endpoint is https://timestamp-microservice-sd.glitch.me/api/timestamp/:date_string?
3. Returns current UTC and unix date if no date_string is passed.
4. If the date string is valid the api returns a JSON, having the structure: e.g. {"unix": 1479663089000 ,"utc": "Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:31:29 GMT"}
5. If the date string is invalid the api returns a JSON having the structure {"error" : "Invalid Date" }
