# legend of microservices [](https://travis-ci.org/gernest/legend)
Mircoservice architechture explained with golang.
__NOTE: This is still under heavy construction, stay safe and don't try this.__
# Synopsis
This is an interactive, fictional story of microservices architecture. There has
been a lot of buzzwords around microservices, and just like you I got courious
and had to go neck deep to unveil this myth.
I will be using the go(Golang) programming language to explain what I know about
microservices. Which means this text will cover interesting parts of the
language too.
To make things a bit interesting, I will design and build a bare bones twitter
clone in a microservice way.
The accounts below are totally my own and by now you should be aware that I am
no expert in anything academic, so take it with a grain of salt. I advice you
read this just like any other boring fiction art.
# Intended audience
This is for technical people with a background in web development. The knowledge
of go(Golang) is optional as many of the things explained here might apply to
any programming language.
# Things to be covered
* microservice
* microservice archtecture
* service isolation
* service discovery
* service configuration
* service orchestration
* restful APIs
* service registry
* service scaling
# Prerequisite
To follow allong with the code present in this text, you need
* Go( Any version will just do fine)
* A brave heart ( This is "A bridge too far" )
# Here is where the story begins
## Microsevices
As the legends say, whenever you hear the term "Enterprise" know dark days are
ahead of you. Microservice is just a service the rest is buzzwords, and the
micro part of microservice is also a marketing thing. You bare with me, I will
tell you why instead of using microservices I prefer to use web service to imply
the microservice( as we know it).
Web services have been around for a while, and somewhere along the line someone
re branded them by giving them a shiny new name "Microservice". A web
service is just a service running on the web and using web technologies to serve
its purpose( i.e http,rpc, json, html etc...).
### Microservice architechture
This is a design pattern for a web application where by the main application
relies on external web services to accomplish its intended purpose.
