Our company is in the early stages of starting to use microservices. One question that came up the other day was ‘is scheduling/calendar a micro service’? We have so many monolithic apps that have built their own calendar/schedule – some allowing appointments to be scheduled in the morning and afternoon and some more granular whereRead more

I think one of the biggest pain points in working with microservices is making sure that the APIs are well-documented and APIs do not change their behavior without affecting downstream applications. This problem becomes amplified when you have many services that are interdependent on each other. Perhaps at that point you doing microservices wrong, butRead more

I have the opinion that each method in a service should only do one small step of a larger task, delegate a result to the successive step/method and terminate. No matter if this next method lives in the same service or not, it is always triggered via inter-service routing (message queue, service discovery + RESTRead more

I get that it’s a divide and conquer thing for scalability and performance. I’m currently working on redeveloping my entire personal website from scratch using Node.JS.

According to the current implementation, we don’t have multiple APIs for the different services provided by Microservice B; instead what we have is a single API which acceptsRead more
