For example, in order to sign up a user...the client hits the /signup endpoint, which first lands on the server-gateway service. Then that is passed along to an account-service which creates the user. Then the accounts-service hits a NATS messaging service twice - one message to send a verification email, and another to create a subscription. The messaging service passes the first message along to the verification-service, which sends out a sendgrid email. Then the second message gets passed along to a subscription-service-worker. The subscription-service-worker adds a job to a queue, which when it gets processed, hits the actual subscription-service, which sends along a request to Stripe to create the customer record and trial subscription.
6 services in order to sign up a user, in what could have been done with about 100-300 lines of Node.
