Django REST Framework (and I’m assuming later work by its authors) get this right and literally populate URLs rather than giving you patterns.



Not familiar with Django sadly but it sounds like it would act as something of a proxy that sits in front of your microservices.

My point is that if you are starting with just e.g 2 microservices, one for customers, one for orders, then hypermedia on it's own is not useful enough to justify adding a new proxy/ layer, just so that an API produced by one of those microservices can include hypermedia for the other.


It’s just providing a Uniform Resource Identifier. Doesn’t say anything about how you micro your services.
