Divide and Conquer with Microservices
How microservices are changing the way we make applications
The way to build software has changed over time; there
are now many paradigms, languages, architectures
and
methodologies. Building applications based on
microservices does not guarantee that the application will
be a success (there’s no architecture nor methodology that
guarantee that either),
however it’s an approach that will teach you to manage your
logical resources, components or modules. As a result, you can replicate them in different
projects throughout your career, optimize resources and
scale your applications in an agile way.
The beginning of my experience as a software developer
was not easy; I had to change the paradigms I knew. I also
had to read a lot, not only about technologies, but also
about operating systems, volumes, and Unix sockets, among
others
things. In addition, I had to face challenges, and I am
still facing them, because the implementations can be
many, depending on the business requirements. This
learning process didn’t just last a few weeks, but over a
year and I’m still discovering new things! I had to learn
to abstract a lot of business logic and divide it into
reusable components, not only in one
project,
but also for use in other projects. Thinking about
microservices definitely helped me to be a better
programmer and take on new challenges, especially since
the programming language takes a secondary role.
