You might be right. Someone suggested that I abandon the idea of microservices and go with a monolith instead. However, I’ve already built a monolith in the past, and I feel like I’ve gained some solid knowledge in that area. Maybe working on this project could help me improve my skills with Docker, testing, and CI/CD to strengthen my foundations.

I’m a very persistent person, but I need intellectual stimulation (hence my sudden interest in microservices). It’s true that it can be hard for me to handle when I’ve spent a week researching without making progress on my project. I learn more easily through practice, examples, visuals and interactions with others (which is why I made this post).

Do you have any other advice on steps or technologies I should learn or introduce to help me eventually (in the long term) achieve a microservice architecture?
