Getting the feeling Segment didn't really stop using microservices.
Sounds like they just redrew their service boundary, from Integration APIs to Business Function.
Centrifuge sounds like a new service deals with connecting to integration APIs, so they've replaced 140+ services with one.
Another service they've spun up is Traffic Recorder, and its responsibility is to eliminate the need for http requests when testing integrations.
Feels like the biggest change is going from so many repos to a monorepo.
- woahthere123 8y agoSegment is very much built around microservices. They just consolidated 100+ of these destination services into a single one. That's it.
- akamaozu 8y agoGlad you think so too. The title and opening paragraphs gave me the impression they felt they were moving away from microservices, but maybe I didn't those bits correctly.
