How we can achieve Microservices related functionality with Loopback Framework

Question

I need your help in Loopback Framework. Actually, my need is how we can achieve Microservices related functionality with Loopback Framework.

Please share any links/tutorials/knowledge if you have any. I have gone through below links, https://strongloop.com/strongblog/creating-a-multi-tenant-connector-microservice-using-loopback/

I have downloaded the related demo from below links but doesn't work it. https://github.com/strongloop/loopback4-example-microservices https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-example-facade

Thanks,

Basically it depends on your budget and size of your system. You can make some robust and complex implementations using tools like Spring Cloud or KrakenD. As a matter of fact, your question is too broad. I've some microservices architecture knowledge and I can recommend just splitting your functionality into containerized solutions, probably orchestrated by Kubernetes. In that way, you can expose for example, the User microservice with loopback, and another Authentication microservice with loopback and/or any other language/framework.

You could (but shouldn't) add communication between those microservices (as you should expose some REST functionality) with something like gRPC.

The biggest cloud providers have some already made solutions, eg AWS has ECS or Fargate. For GCP you have Kubernetes.
