Barebone Python Microservices with Flask

Overview

The Python Microservice Scaffold is a Flask-based project structure that demonstrates how to organize a microservice project. It is built on the PyMS package, which follows the microservice chassis pattern similar to Spring Boot in Java or Gizmo in Golang. PyMS provides libraries, best practices, and guidelines for building microservices in Python, focusing on handling cross-cutting concerns like externalized configuration, logging, health checks, metrics, and distributed tracing.
