I aspire to build microservices/microfrontends and deploy to production within a month.

A microservice should not be super big. If it is, it’s not micro anymore.

The idea with One Month Microservice is this.

One month and a synchronized-3-man-squad is enough to code up a microservice and deploy to production.

  • Assuming 3 weeks of coding.
  • One week of deployment.

If it’s takes more than 1 month the following may be reasons,

  • Learning curve for the particular microservice is too high
  • New Team
  • Design could be improved
  • Microservice infrastucture (chassis) is not in place.
  • Team isn’t a synchronized 3 man squad. aka it’s too big with a lot of moving pieces.
