F/OSS Spotlight: 🧑‍💻 Zuul
1 project | dev.to | 1 Feb 2023

What's important is that Zuul gates your codebase, whereas other tools sometimes let faulty commits go through. Unfortunately there's a bit of a name collision with Netflix Zuul gateway service, but that's awesome F/OSS for another day.

Programming Microservices Communication With Istio

Back in 2017, I was solving many of those distributed-systems challenges using Spring Cloud with Netflix OSS; you can check out my Bootstrapping microservice project here. But Netflix OSS is for Java developers mostly and microservices can be implemented in a variety of frameworks/languages, so we should be able to handle those challenges outside the application level.
Microservices is not the best way to draw boundaries and achieve modularity in a system

I have two relevant opensource projects related to microservices(Java microservices and Service mesh) with thousands of access, and I have been working with this architecture for a few years; however, I don't recommend microservices architecture for most cases.
