As someone who is starting a new project and thinking about microservice first (and first time in general), this is interesting. Im wondering if there are any success stories so far for this case? I like the idea of having just a few coarse services (e.g. users, content, gateway, message queue, web/client)

Another interesting thing is how to handle microservices orchestration, development, deployment early on without significant investment of time. We've been looking at docker/docker-compose and it seems like it should handle it but also seems more geared towards multi-container single-service apps. I'm wondering if anyone else is using same technology and has input? Maybe as things develop it will handle build/mananage/orchestrate multi-decoupled services
