Hey, if I wanted to expose one microservice’s API as a client to another service, has anyone got any good examples?

Not quite sure what you mean here TBH. Can you elaborate a touch?

e.g. I’ve got service A which has end points 1, 2, and 3. I have Service B which I want to be able to call end point 1, 2, 3.

Is there a way to expose service A as a library which I can use in service B? I don’t want to have to remember to update any end point paths etc., would rather use it like a function.

I vaguely remember us doing something like that in Bo but it’s been a while and i’ve had a few too many beers since.

TBH I've kind of walked back from this idea since because of the coupling aspect of it.

effectively you're talking about having the following modules for each service:
/api (DTOs)
/client (relies on /api)
/service (relies on /api)

Then the dependent services can rely on the client module

Ah interesting, what do you do instead to avoid the coupling?

If I stick with the coupling, for the client module, is there a way to use http4k in a way so the client functions are auto generated (or at least auto-update if any end points are changed)?
