What do you mean by microservice examples? It is
infrastructure methodology, not specific code thing, any
simple network service can be viewed as microservice.
At the Web services application level it is having a small
framework for structuring the use of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE,…
packets. Basically RESTful services.
Even web microservices are not necessarily RESTful ones. Nick has
correctly pointed out that there is a lot of spiritual similariy
between concept of microservice and traditional UNIX way of
designing small single-purpose command lines apps. It basically
gets down to "do as few things as possible in one application
(but do it good) and build a pipeline".
At a non HTTP level I guess you can say all networking is
microservices except that you want a protocol over TCP/IP or
UDP/IP and shouldn't there be frameworks to assist building
these things?
What utility would you expect from such framework?
