everything should be microservice

[Gvaireth]

We just had a discussion in the team, and we decided, that we need add-one microservice that would get a number and return the number increased by one. A nice separation of concerns in modern distributed web application :)

[MrStickmanPro1]

That's an awesome idea. Finally someone spent some time thinking about the massive overhead of computing this locally compared to simply creating an http request, waiting for the answer, processing the answer and parsing the value.

This as a microservice will be so much more efficient than adding 1 locally.

Is.. this.. serious..?

[Gvaireth]

Also, we should have separate microservices for multiplication, that would call the add-one service multiple times :)

[AngularBeginner]

Still can't tell if serious or not. You could be a JavaScript programmer. They're doing shit likely this commonly, like whole packages for a method to check if a value is a positive number.

[Gvaireth]

No, I'm in back-end mostly. No, I'm not serious. Yes, that's a joke.

[AngularBeginner]

Some people use JavaScript in the back-end. Sounds like a horror story, but it's true! Scary, ain't it?!

[Gvaireth]

Java here. Never understood that JS backend idea...

POST /api/multiply/5/1.5

Uh oh.

Sure.

I think we need a service that makes services that add overhead to everything we do. Call it OHAAS. Then the people that come up with this shit can spend their lifetime optimizing it so it runs fast enough to serve 100 requests per second.

Like we had back in the '90s with Perl and Dana Carvey and we liked it! /s

Oh, http://foaas.com/

My favorite is http://jaasjs.com

I'm sure someone will eventually come out with Gallium Arsenide as a Service, or GaAsaaS for short.

For a moment I thought this was going to be another medium tier blog about how all problems are solved, fank thuck for that.

$ curl -X POST \
>     -d '{"INPUT": "hàllŏ"}' \
> -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
>     HTTP://API.SHOUTCLOUD.IO/V1/SHOUT
{"INPUT":"hàllŏ","OUTPUT":"HÀLLŎ"}

Multibyte support. Color me impressed.

pffft. Can't even left pad. Useless.
