I like databases and streaming systems.
This post was both fun and quick to write, at least according to my standards. It explores a slightly provocative idea: challenging the fundamental assumption that microservices must not share a database to expose data to external services, and examining what breaks when this convention is ignored.
Simplifying microservices data integration—without compromising performance or scalability—is possible.
