Python Microservices Development

Blueprints

When you write microservices that have more than a single endpoint, you will end up with a handful of decorated functions--maybe, a few per endpoint. The first logical step to organize your code is to have one module per endpoint, and when you create your app instance, to make sure they get imported so that Flask registers the views.

For example, if your microservice manages a company employees database, you could have one endpoint to interact with all employees, and one with teams. You could organize your application in these three modules:

• app.py: To contain the Flask app object, and to run the app
• employees.py: To provide all the views related to employees
• teams.py: To provide all the views related to teams

From there, employee ...
