“It's The Future”
"-No, look into microservices. It’s the future. It’s how we do everything now. You take your monolithic app and you split it into like 12 services. One for each job you do.That seems excessive"A 100 times yes. We tried to split our monolithic Rails app into micro-services built in Go. 2 years and many fires later, we decided to abandon the project. It was mostly because the monitoring and alerting were now split into many different pieces. Also, the team spent too much time debating standards etc. I think micro-services can be valuable, but we definitely didn't do it right, and I think a lot of companies get it wrong.  Any positive experiences with micro-services here?
