node-microservice is a node module (npm) that gives a standard blueprint for creating new micro-services in NodeJS. This blueprint attempts to bring in industry standard [design patterns](https://microservices.io/patterns/index.html) relevant and required for a micro-services based architecture. To implement these patterns, we typically need to integrate with a lot of tools and services from Infrastructure and Platform. This blueprint takes a opinionated view on selection of these tools and offers these integrations out-of-the-box. A list of these tools and services pre-integrated in node-microservice are as below
