homework

["Laskey, Ken" <klaskey@mitre.org>]

In case we are not having a meeting tomorrow, I’ll leave you with some reading:

http://docs.media.bitpipe.com/io_13x/io_131191/item_1325935/microservices_WP_2%202.pdf

This also talks about micro services as “SOA done right” but it goes into a lot of detail for a summary paper.  One thing that mirrored some of Michael’s previous comments was the idea of dependencies being satisfied locally (within containers).  

Pushing this a bit more, I saw something that recommended satisfying dependencies locally in a container (sort of like a proxy) but then have that resolve to either internal or external resources.  For example, resolve data needs to a test database during testing but resolve to the operational database for operational deployment.

I think this also touches on Martin’s question of whether all services are just duplicated locally.  I think not but am digging further to get a tighter answer.

Anyway, some food for thought.
