Ask HN: Building a microserivce at home, what tech stack?
What essential technologies should i bake in?
Data migration? Log aggregation?
I've worked in the industry for years but have never worked on every piece of a "production" microservice, i thought making one at home would be a good way.
Thanks.
- GianFabien 5y agoIt really depends on your specific requirements. For my home automation stack all I use is mosquitto MQTT and some RESTful services. The rest is various programs and scripts that all work with either MQTT or REST or both. I simply use JSON for payloads that way things remain simple. As for logging, syslog meets all my needs. BTW, I log some MQTT events to syslog using a script with several wildcard subscribes. Data migrations, only ad-hoc, mostly one-shot, so its just basic scripts that get the job done.
