Great job on implementing the task requirements! 🎉 Your code is well-structured and meets the core functionality needed for the application. While there are minor improvements suggested, such as optimizing the retrieval of random characters and configuring RestTemplate as a bean, these do not hinder the current functionality. Keep up the good work and consider these suggestions for future enhancements! 😊

Consider injecting RestTemplate as a bean instead of instantiating it directly. This allows for better configuration and testing, especially if you need to customize the RestTemplate with interceptors or error handlers.

Using findAll() to retrieve a random character is not efficient for large datasets. Consider using a method that retrieves a random entity directly from the database, such as using a native query or a custom repository method.
