What Hacker News says?

  1. Okay then. Let's play the "hard nosed technical justification" for this new architectural mold. Specifically pointed at your issues. > The serialization/deserialization layer adds potential for bugs. Adding an agreed upon layer that aligns with clean architecture[0) will actually produce less bugs both upstream and downstream. (This is why contract apis are important) and are actually more valuable than monolithic s…

  9. Elixir is usually the best bet for high throughput with low memory requirements. But I think you should read some presentations about microservices before you decide to code a giant new architecture. There are other solutions already developed. A guide on the mindset of microservices that is useful is well written in these two articles: http://www.pwc.com/us/en/technology-forecast/2014/cloud-comp... and http://www.t…
