> Any positive experiences with micro-services here? In my experience, any monolith that can be broken up into a queue based system will benefit enormously. This cleans up the pipelines, and adds monitoring and scaling points (the queues). Queues removes run-time dependencies to the other services. It requires that these services are _actually_ independent, of course. I do, however, avoid RPC based micro-services like the plague. RPC adds run-time dependencies to services. If possible, I limit RPC to other (micro) services to launch/startup/initialization/bootstrap, not run-time. In many cases, though, the RPC can be avoided entirely.
