Hey Pythonista,

A quick email and win this week: we are able to produce Rust Bites (coming soon!), thanks to the flexibility and scalability of microservices. 🎉

We tried to fit Rust code validation into our current AWS Lambda setup, but it was too much of a hassle.

Once we reminded ourselves that we are running the platform in a microservices architecture, it became much easier to expand.

Instead of stubbornly trying to fit the new feature into our existing setup, we created an isolated API to handle Rust code validation.

This allowed us to keep our current setup intact while seamlessly adding a new microservice.

Integrating the new microservice with the rest of the platform was straightforward. We just ensured the new microservice could communicate with the existing ones, and we were good to go.

This highlights the benefits of microservices 💡

• Flexibility: Easily adapt and integrate new features.
• Scalability: Efficiently scale services as needed.
• Decoupling: Expand services while keeping them independent from the rest of the platform.

We're glad we chose codechalleng.es for our platform name. By not having "Python" in the name, we can easily expand to other programming languages under the same moniker. We'll always support and expand Python 🐍 😍, but we're also excited to teach other languages as we learn them. 💪 📈

So, after 400+ Python exercises (and counting), stay tuned for Rust Bites and more!

Cheers,

Bob & Julian
