I still don't really get this, if they're using GraphQL which it appears they are with Falcor why do they need a specific microservices for every client? Can the data that each client needs not be queried ad-hoc?
- jFriedensreich 6y agofalcor uses a GraphQL alternative called jsonGraph which has overlapping features and usecases but is a completely seperate technology. The decision to have seperate services per app has nothing to do with the technology but with the politics of structuring teams and evolving technology at netflix.
- jamil7 6y agoOK, haven't read anything about falcor since it's annoucement I always assumed it was GraphQL based. So the point is to not need to wait on team X to deliver feature Y? Rather the client teams are responsible for implementing whatever they need? I think I got it.
