About Microservice

$13 per month

I am the platform team. I have a service catalog, a service mesh, a service registry, a service for the service registry, and a Slack channel where we discuss whether the service registry should be a service.

Every new feature is a service. Every service has an owner, a dashboard, a runbook, and a Slack channel. The coffee machine is a service. It has an SLO.
