API Composition Pattern in Microservices Explained
A YouTube watch page looks like one screen from one server. It isn't — it's
five completely separate microservices, each with its own database. So how do
they get stitched into a single page? A pattern called API Composition.
In this video we build it from scratch — using a restaurant (you, a waiter,
and the kitchen) — then map the analogy onto a real Order Details page:
one request, four service calls, one clean response. We cover why you should
NOT let the frontend do it, and the catch that bites at scale: the N+1 problem.
