Another excellent read Paul! I am really enjoying following your journey through this process as I am beginning to ramp up into my own move. One question that came to mind with this proxy is whether or not you saw a substantial jump in latency for requests now that you have the proxy? That seems like something you might want to monitor as you start moving workloads over from the monolith.

Hey Kyle. Glad you're enjoying it.

Very good point about latency and one I should have covered in my last update. Yes, I have noticed some additional latency but I'm not overly concerned about it right now. I'm currently writing my next update so will give a bit more information there on how I'm monitoring it and hope to reduce it going forward.

Interesting that you're starting to make your own move! 👍
