Exploring Microservices and Web Components

Been listening to a number of podcasts and reading on microservices over the last couple years and may now have a project to apply this pattern to.

Found some good posts on the subject:

1. Microservices vs Monolithic:

2. API gateway pattern to support microservices:

3. Frontend microservices (aka Web Components)

3.a. Web Components are great except perhaps in IE 11 which has the Polyfill workaround. So it's definitely doable there. IE Edge appears to be being built with Web Components in mind so we'll see how that future plays out. Working in an enterprise that relies on IE as it's default browser, one has to consider such things.
