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.
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?
Zeromq plus msgpack or the like (maybe cerealed!) gives you quite
a lot. I use nanomsg, which is still beta but nicer in some
ways. In any case it gives you survey, request/reply, bus,
publish / subscribe patterns. And it's very light and has decent
throughput. What kind of framework were you thinking of ?
(nanomsg doesn't do UDP, but I think zeromq does. You can write
your own protocol or pattern if the existing ones don't work for
you, and sounds like that's work, but not much more than it needs
to be).
