These days, you can’t swing a dry erase marker without hitting someone talking about microservices. Developers are studying Eric Evan’s prescient book Domain Driven Design. Teams are refactoring monolithic apps, looking for bounded contexts and defining a ubiquitous language. And while there have been countless articles, videos, and talks to help you convert to microservices, few have spent any appreciable time asking if a given application should be a microservice. In this talk, I will show you a set of factors you can apply to help you decide if something deserves to be a microservice or not. We’ll also look at what we need to do to maintain a healthy micro(services)biome.
Microservices demand more than just a new architecture, they require a cultural shift. In this workshop, we'll cover:
- A set of principles that will help you decide if microservices are the best choice for your applications
- How to build production-hardened services
- How to empower your teams while ensuring they make good decisions
- How to develop a cloud native culture
- The challenges and pitfalls of microservice architectures and how to manage them
Zero fluff.
