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.
