Ask HN: Implement a setup wizard in a microservice architecture environement

#1
I would like to implement a initial setup wizard for an application based on a microservice architecture. Should the frontend check whether the application is already initialized (via a dedicated endpoint) or return 50x error code until the setup process has been completed.

Or should I just load sample data and let the admin do the initial setup work?

Use search engine terms "microservice" "functional requirements" "non-functional requirements".

Compare that to the functional/non-functional requirements for the application.

Pick install defaults for intended audience. End user document should explain default functional/non-functional requirements & how/when to change/modifiy.
