A LINGUISTIC APPROACH TO MICROSERVICES
summary
Argues that microservices are a programming-language concern and presents Jolie, an interpreter implemented on the JVM that makes services first-class with output port and input port endpoints, tree-typed messages and workflow-first behavior. Shows concrete composition primitives — redirection, aggregation and embedding — and a Docker HTTP API binding used to orchestrate and test multi-service setups. Claims real adoption: a company built around Jolie with 100+ engineers, a commercial orchestration suite and working demos that control, scale and route containers in production.
