I’m slowly migrating my little game engine into a set of Microservices. This will provide a robust and maintainable backend architecture where one service can be improved/ fixed and built and deployed without refactoring a whole game engine and building it as a monolithic docker file with all of the dependencies. Not my idea! The lesson of the last couple of weeks is follow the smart people and use what they already made. I’ve engaged with Firebase and GKE to drastically improve scalability and security and feel much more secure that if the best thing happens and there is a demand for my game platform I will be able to meet it. This has to be the best technical document I’ve ever seen: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/kubernetes-comic
