Learning Functional Programming in Go

Divide and conquer

FP gives us the tools and techniques we need to divide our monolithic applications into microservices.

In Chapter 4, SOLID Design in Go, we learned that our applications should be built from components that follow the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well. We follow the same precepts when building microservices. Furthermore, following the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) we treat each microservice as a separate entity that, whose entire life cycle is kept separate within its predefined boundaries. This decoupling of our microservices is what allows us to create, move and restart our microservice, isolated from its ...
