Microservices, or “How to spread the love”

For some time, people have been talking about microservices. I say “some time” for two reasons: 1) It’s a good opening line, and 2) I have no clue how long people have been talking about them. I just heard the term for the first time about four months ago. So if I start talking about them now, while I still know virtually nothing, I can get at least two more future posts on the subject talking about how I was doing it wrong in the beginning.
