Docker + Microservices = <3

I have been experimenting with Microservices for a while, but never really understood its actual purpose and the benefits of using it. But ever since I got in to Docker, everything started to make a lot more sense. Working with Docker changes a little bit of the development process as you really have to keep well documentation of the ports allocated, the services for each port, and since every instance is a microservice, they all each have a different set of API’s to follow.

The amazing beauty of this, is that I can work in a fast pace building these services, and even though I may not be able to use the best code-base of optimal language/framework, it is easy to update in the futures as I won’t have to take into account how all other services are built, as long as I support the correct requests and outputs the documented results based there upon.

Gotta love Docker!
