Microservice Practice Project?

[BrownZeus]

Hey Folks!

 

So I have a new job (yay me!) my position is in software engineering, part of an agile team, and I'm more specifically a "Performance Engineer" (tbh not as fancy as it sounds). However since I don't always need to be focused on performance, I'm expected to, and I also want to, perform your normal development tasks, as in choosing something off the backlog I can actually perform. So that means learning to create microservices for my specific job/project. I'm already on my way for learning Spring and Spring Boot, and my account manager would like me to develop a small demo application using microservice architecture so that he can go to our client and show that I'm of use outside of performance testing and tell other engineers their work isn't meeting requirements. However I don't know what to make! I just need something small but robust enough to work towards to show that I'm capable of the work at least a little. So my fellow nerds, what demo app should I work on? Googling this only gives examples of how the architecture works vs a monolithic app

Can't help, but congrats on the job!

How about an app to track the backlog of projects? Tell you how many days behind the team is, etc.

Depend how it works where he's at.

 

Me for each day of work we get an average of 6 days of work extra added to the list. We are at least 1 year backlogged. We come back fresh every now and then when we deny everything older than 2 years LOL
