>> Microservices provide encapsulation and an API interface, but are not composable the way Unix programs are when e.g called by a Unix shell on a Unix OS. Because the Unix programs all use pipes as their interface. When you simplify and standardize the "API" composition becomes easy. Microservices are more like functions or modules each running as separate processes - if you use the same language for the services and glue you can just compile them all together and call it a program right?
