Re: [Hawkular-dev] Extra back-end for our front-end

1) The curent microservices are not very granular and the number is small; there are only 3 major microservices to interact with and the functionality for each is broad. 2) Each microservice can quickly add supporting methods for the UI. This will polish the API of each microservices because it has to be easily consumable. 3) We are forced to stay into microservice mode (it's a mindset!) and we will continue to develop decoupled services. 4) Increased potential of each service to be consumed independently of the whole because: a) the API will be more polished b) each service is always used in the mode that will be integrated outside 5) There is no additional place to address service quirks; each service has to solve interface quirks right away to be consumable. I see the API Gateway component as the fastest and first place to accumulate technical debt.
