You're right about the external interface, but you still need to give a name to the actual service behind the URL.

From your point on versioning, I'd assume you'd actually call it UserProfileV2 ?

PS: to get back to the original point, you're still stuck with a "UserProfileV2" service that does a lot more than just user profiles, but that's not reflected in the name.



It depends on the language, but I would probably call it `UserProfile` and change a major version even if it's in an entirely different language. Maybe even kept in the same repo.

From what it said in the original comment, it still seems like a user profile to me.
