Moving a large backend application from a monolith into microservices is a hugely complex undertaking. It’s been done many times by many teams, but it’s never done quite the same way twice, and the details are always super interesting. I’m excited to tell you about this journey we’re on at Calm. We hope you find some of our decisions and learnings valuable in building your own distributed software applications, and that you’re able to see a bit more “behind the curtain” of the magic that makes Calm’s products tick.
