Goals

Provide a clear list of requirements that every microservice should abide to
Provide standardization among microservices
Improve future collaboration of microservice by standardizing it.

Background and strategic fit

This document is a list of requirements that each microservice needs to abide. This list will change over time but should always be implemented by every microservices (meaning changes in this list might require work on older microservices). This is done to make sure certain cross-cutting concerns, aspects of the system that are not related to a single area of the system and instead are present in nearly every area, have a single well thought out solution independent of the microservice in order to make the entire system more future proof.

Assumptions

Complying with these requirements would be the perfect state, it might be required by real world circumstances to (temporarily) not comply with these requirements
The registry and traefik microservices serve special roles in the system, they should abide to all the requirements unless deemed to be contrary to their functions.
Origin: The microservice that is the origin of an object, that stores the basic information of this object.
- Examples: Member's origin is core.
Internal/External object: When referring to an object from a microservice's viewpoint it is considered an internal object when the viewpoint (microservice) is the origin (microservice), if the viewpoint is not the origin it is considered an external object.
- Example: From the core microservice's viewpoint a Member object is internal, an Event object is external.
External roles: A role defined by an other microservice, likely unkown to the origin microservice
- Example: Adding a 'trainer' role to a member

Requirements

#	Title	User Story	Importance	Notes
1	Standard API	A microservice should abide the rules for the standardized API	Must have	The standardized API can be found here. This includes: Requests Responses URL format
2	Microservice Communication	A microservice should abide to the standardized communication protocol	Must have	The microservice communication requirements can be found here.
3	Standard Object and Data Model	A microservice should abide the rules for the standardized Object and Data Model	Must have	The Object and Data model can be found here.
4	Standard Permissions	A microservice should abide the rules of the standardized permission system	Must have	The Standardized permission model can be found here.

User interaction and design

Include any mockups, diagrams or visual designs relating to these requirements.

Questions

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:

Question	Outcome
(e.g. How we make users more aware of this feature?)	Communicate the decision reached

Future releases

Move certain standard requirements to a separate microservice
- For example the permission system.

Not Doing

Limiting the implementation language of a microservice
