This is part of the transcript of a talk I gave at The Developer Conference in Porto Alegre. You can find the deck online
I broke the transcript in several part that can be read independantly:
- Part 1: SOA Services in 5 minutes
- Part 2: Scaling your business
- Part 3: No microservices without ownership
- Part 4: Data architecture for microservices
- Part 5: Operability in microservices world
- Part 6: Anti-fragile system
- Part 7: Agile coaching for successful microservices system
- Part 8: Existing microservices stacks
Existing microservices stacks
A micro service looks like the following. It has all the component to be operable and manageable.
This is a lot to create and automation will just free time to work on more important things. I don’t know any easy simple stack. Complexity is inherent to what we want to achieve: an agile business that can scale in developer and features.
I am aware of three stacks:
- twitter stack based on finagle
- Netflix stack (spring cloud is using it intensively)
- Akka
I am currently using Netflix stack and had some experience with Akka. None of those stacks are easy and well documented. They both require a lot of study and work. If you start using one of them, work as a hacker, reading the component codes and tests to figure out what it does and how to use it.
