The Dark Side of Microservices
You want to solve a problem with your application, and you want to use microservices. Ok, so now you have two problems...
Microservices continue to be a huge buzzword in our industry, and in some scenarios they can offer significant benefits. But building microservice-based systems requires substantially different skills than traditional applications, and in many cases the added complexity isn't warranted.
In this session, you'll learn when NOT to use a microservice, and many ways in which you can design your microservice architecture the wrong way, eliminating the benefits your organization had hoped to reap from them. Hopefully you'll leave knowing a few pitfalls to avoid, or at least if you already have some of the scars from past implementations, you may find the session therapeutic.
