How could these services be decoupled?

[luisliz]

I'm reading the code and it seems like the init.py file is the one that initializes all the microservices and that makes sense except that it doesn't seem like all the services are independent. I'm guessing that in production an init file would be created for each service and then kafka would be the one that takes care of the communication between them?

The other part of this that confuses me is if each one is started individually then how would a request be routed assuming they're all going to the same port? or would a different port be assigned to each service and requested accordingly in the client?

Or is there some magic happening that only the init file is used and then it scales them accordingly (really doubt this part)
