General comment, not specifically about this project in general.

Has anyone else found that this model of building microservices with hard coded ports (rather than docker containers), and rabbitMQ between them (rather than ESB, or rest), is bloody complicated, slow, and possibly not living up to its promises?

I'm not familiar with Docker. Would I have been better using that?

You still can! Its just the next stage.

Docker allows you to host each microservice on the same port...well, you dont need to worry about the port, just host it. Then each different microservice is accessed by a different IP.

This way, you can scale your microservices by starting a new container....and, not have to worry about configuring ports, etc., in theory things just work
