Check your urge to build a microservice when you can buy
- dvtrn 8y agoThis is a bit of a challenging read-as I think the author and I use two different definitions of the term 'microservice'. The piece went on to describe things like SaaSes, APIs and authentication platforms as microservices, and finally announced that "A CMS is the perfect example of a microservice (or set of microservices) that is not a differentiator for most businesses" and that's when I had to stop for a moment. Maybe it's my understanding that needs re-alignment, but I don't consider many of what the article promotes to be microservices as actually being microservices-but my mindset is in a specific context of DevOps and Site Reliability. Is the term really used so...liberally? This is new to me.
