  • Sorry this doesn't answer the question. My question is whether we should have each service integrate with the legacy layer independently, or use a "legacy integration" microservice dedicated to accessing legacy data. Commented Jun 28, 2020 at 8:34
  • Maybe my answer was not clear enough, but what I was trying to say is that each service SHOULD NOT integrate directly with the legacy layer, as this is a MAJOR violation of the whole microservice design principals. Each microservice should have it's own DEDICATED persistence layer which can only be accessed by an external service via APIs that the owning microservice exposes. This would then lead you to expose APIs for accessing the legacy data layer, which is what i was suggesting utilizing a serverless approach such as azure functions for providing said legacy access API.
