Chopping the monolith
summary
Argues that independent deployment is the real microservices win and shows a concrete path: start with a Spring Boot e‑commerce monolith behind API Gateway (Apache API 6) using Docker Compose and etcd, extract the /price logic into a containerized service, then route that endpoint to a Azure Function (serverless). Demo deploys the function, switches the gateway routing, and the checkout pricing runs from the function with no monolith redeploy — it works live.
