The software development landscape is rapidly evolving. New tools, technologies, and trends are always bubbling to the top of our workflows and conversations. One of those paradigm shifts that has become more pronounced in recent years is the adoption of microservices architecture by countless organizations.

As a microservices developer, I want to focus my efforts on the core business problems and functionality that my microservices need to achieve. I’d prefer to offload the inter-service communication concerns—just like I do with authentication or API security.
