Thanks for the encouragement! That means a lot.

As for your specific case, I can empathize to some extent as a manager managing an API development team.

Breaking a monolith into microservices is a good plan. You might want to consider Bob Martin's strangler application pattern on that journey.

Thankfully, API developers have more options in introducing new endpoints or versions as needed and are less tied to user interface concerns.

I've read about the strangler pattern before, and it's exactly how I'll manage it I think.

Agreed on the options for API developers though, it's a nice place to be. The API itself has versioning in the URL string, so it should be extremely easy for me to migrate.

Thanks for the response!!
