His comments with regards to the lack of compile time checking of the interfaces between microservices couldn't help me but think of GraphQL. Using GraphQL as the layer between microservices could alleviate this issue. Specially if the usual "deprecate, don't version" approach of GraphQL is followed. Normally GraphQL is talked about within the context of user facing applications interacting with servers but it could be quite useful for strongly typed machine to machine communication. We already use GraphQL for our client facing API. We're going to start rolling out microservices at our startup and I think we'll use it for communication between microservices as well.
