Hi Gerrit, An interesting question.
The issue with mircroservices for a framework like Celix IMO is how to define and use a (language independent) microservice API REST/JSON) in natural way for C, C++ & service oriented For the microservices API there already a lot of options and I think we should not reinvent the wheel for this. A big downside is that - as far as I know - technologies like gRPC, protobuf, avro, etc generate a lot of code, but do not generate a clear and pure abstract interfaces as primary "to use" API .. its al one mess. I personally really dislike this and think is works against the general idea of OSGi/service oriented (hide your privates / implementation details). But I do agree that microsevices - and as result a microservices chassis frameworks - are an interesting path to look into and can really help move Celix forward. Microservices and OSGi/service oriented as techniques should very compatible. I am curious if anybody else has any though on this. Or any hints for certain technology to look at?
