While this and many other writings about microservices are largely concerned with network-based environments, there exists another microservice exemplar specific to the JVM world: OSGi[0][1] I mention it mostly to assit those wanting to explore the concept of microservices itself, as opposed to assuming a network transport is always involved. Being JVM specific, "kicking the tires" on it naturally requires that environment. Perhaps, though, some of the writings discussing it would be of benefit to those using other tech stacks. Of course, OSGi does not preclude distributed processing (and often is employed for such). 0 - https://www.osgi.org/ https://www.osgi.org/ 1 - http://www.theserverside.com/news/1363825/OSGi-for-Beginners http://www.theserverside.com/news/1363825/OSGi-for-Beginners
