Microservice Architecture
Supported by Kong- My article on Building Microservices: Inter-Process Communication in a Microservice Architecture is now available
- There was recently a discussion about microservices on Hacker News. Lots of great comments.
- There was an interesting Twitter discussion about the role of integration platforms in a microservice architecture.
@crichardson A lot of customers tell me they don't need integration platform like #camel in #microservices arch. Your take ?
