Explore the factors that make up a reactive microservice. One of the key principles in employing a Microservices-based Architecture is Divide and Conquer : the decomposition of the system into discrete and isolated subsystems communicating over well-defined protocols.

The Working Set Size (WSS) is how much memory an application needs to keep working. Your app may have populated 100 Gbytes of main memory, but only uses 50 Mbytes each second to do its job. That's the working set size. It is used for capacity planning and scalability analysis. You may never have seen WSS measured by any tool (I haven't either). OSes usually show you virtual memory and resident memory, shown as the "VIRT" and "RES" columns in top.

I often say that one of my favorite quotes is: “There are developers with 30 years of experience and there are developers with 1 year of experience repeated 30 times.”.

I’m a big fan, and hoarder, of Raspberry Pi devices. If you’ve seen my previous Raspberry Pi tutorials , you’ll know I like using them for hardware and software projects. These microcomputers use very little energy and have decent processors and memory, making them great for a diverse set of projects. With blockchain and cryptocurrencies on the rise, Raspberry Pi devices become great for getting familiar with concepts such as wallets, mining, and synchronized nodes.

So you’ve been doing a lot of research around the blockchain and the various cryptocurrencies. Don’t worry, I’ve been doing a lot of the same research. There is so much in the news and on social media around this subject, it would be a good idea to educate yourself.
