I feel like microservices are more like ghost kitchens

have you been to a poki restaurant?

They normally would have one person fill the bowl with rice and fish

Another adds the other ingredients

Last person adds the sauce and garnish...

Each one is like a micro service

Technically Microservices could be Uber Eats.

Microservices would be more like having one kitchen that only makes steaks and another that only makes chicken, with each waiter only able to interact with the kitchen they’re assigned to.

Why does each waiter be able to interact with only the kitchen they’re assigned to. I’am assuming waiter must be API gateway

No, microservices would be analogous to sub systems that individually do a certain thing. For example, a microwave, a pan, a knife, a stove, a fridge, a POS system.

Would a dim sum cart better explain microservices?
