A crazy idea that turned into a fun mashup of software and hardware...and all of it with Laravel

We used to develop our application as a single DDD monolith (let’s call it the mother) with several smaller microservices around it (the children) to gain some specific advantages. Most of these microservices were built in Go, while the core monolithic service was developed in PHP 8.3.

The original paper that describes RESTful web, “Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures” Roy T. Fielding (2000), introduces the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style as a framework for designing scalable, performant, and maintainable networked systems, particularly web services.

Occasionally I go out to lunch with some of my techie friends and we have a great time geeking together. We talk about projects, current events, and various tech-related issues. Inevitably, the discussion will turn to programming languages. One might lament "I have to modify some Java code. I hate Java. (Oh, sorry, Kyle.)" (It probably doesn't help that we gave Kyle the nickname "Java-boy" over a decade ago.) Another will gripe about some old monolithic shell code that nobody wants to rewrite.
