How Netflix works: the (hugely simplified) complex stuff that happens every time you hit Play
Hundreds of microservices, one giant service
Let us just try to understand how Netflix is structured on the technological side with a simple example.
Let’s just assume that the Maps app on your phone tracks your location all the time and saves complex information about everywhere you go in a file, locations.txt. And you end up creating an app called LocoList, that, provided there’s a Maps app on your phone, looks for this locations.txt file and shows all the places recorded in that file in a simple list. It works flawlessly...
