Consistency, Coupling, and Complexity at the Edge
Successful use of a microservices architecture requires maintaining a clear separation of concerns in the various layers and by employing design principles best suited to each layer. While RESTful API design has become the standard for microservices, it can cause problems at the UI layer. Alternatives such as the Backend-for-Frontend pattern using GraphQL can provide better separation of concerns.
