Constellation
What is DAG? In more traditional blockchains, the host provides the food and drinks for the party—that is, the resources. When guests arrive, the available resources can accommodate only a limited number of people, the portions allocated are small, and eventually everything is exhausted and the party ends. You can think of Constellation and DAG as similar to a potluck, a party in which everyone brings food and drinks. With each additional guest—that is, each node joining the network—the resources that keep the party going increase. This is the nature of Constellation: a distributed system capable of scaling horizontally.Constellation Is it a blockchain? Not exactly. Although many standard blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are inspired by the principle of decentralization, they face scalability issues. This is why next-generation decentralized networks, such as Hashgraph,IOTA and Constellation, instead use DAG. What are microservices? “Microservices” is an approach to application development in which a large application consists of a set of modular services. Each module supports a specific business objective and communicates with the other services through simple, well-defined interfaces. Take Uber as an example: it is not a single-application wallet, but a unified application; this means it is a single interface that brings together its driver application, rider application, and enterprise team application.
