Using existing microservices

Question

In the microservice architecture, the main idea is that, every service is a small program, that does one thing and does it well (like unix philosophy)

Some things are common to a variety of projects, eg. user management, contacts, companies, clients, products, payments, etc.

I want to know if there is some kind of repository for microservices that solve there common tasks, so that I don't must reinvent the wheel again.

On github it is hard to find something like this and on docker hub are most repos not documented.

So you use some 3th party microservices? Or you create everything yourself?

Answer 1

We use some of the stuff StdLib provides and they also have a registry for others to submit their own stuff. You should check it out.

Answer 2

Usually I create all but the concept of micro is opinionated, there are a lot of authentication framework ready in different languages for example this is in PHP

https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-server

but there is also something in golang, you can use this libraries to make your work simple.

I tried to search something ready to help you but I have the same feeling there aren't around.
