About Parigot

parigot is a software development tool that makes building microservice-based applications fun again!

Microservices have become the de facto way that engineering teams build the back end of applications. They have become sufficiently popular that tech industry reports have stopped listing microservices as an “upcoming” or even “current” technology. Unknown to many is that the choice to use a microservice-oriented design has substantial negative consequences for the developers and first level managers who are “in the trenches” actually making microservices work.

Engineers and companies wanted

Are you an engineer with experience building microservice-based systems who wants to get in at the beginning of a cool project? Do you work for a company that builds a lot of microservice-based backends for customers? Get in touch, we want to talk to you!
