# Building Microservices with Node, Docker and Nginx

1. What is a Microservice

2. How do we make one?

3. How do we make them work together?

## Notes (Opinionated)

DO NOT do this for a real project of this size, this is to learn.

A Microservice architecture is for BIG projects with a lot of people.

People will tell you that you can do it at small scale and it is true

but you can also remove ants with a nuclear bomb.

Docker containers can be used without using Microservices, they are not the

same thing!

This is the most common way I see people build container based projects

but my personal favourite is using a queue for all container to container

communication.

## Rule of thumb thoughts (Opinionated)

Docker containers = good for almost all project sizes

Microservices = good for big companies with a lot of code and people

Sweetspot = Monolith app and databases in containers
