Track: Microservices: Patterns & Practices

Location: Broadway Ballroom North, 6th fl.

Day of week:

Level: Intermediate - Advanced

Persona: Architect

Abstract

Learn from first hand, deep experience, the most critical decisions we face in building successful microservice architectures: how to think about the tradeoffs that impact the productivity of our teams and the quality of our software. In particular, understand how to avoid creating an architecture that eventually (and sometimes quickly) paralyzes our ability to execute. This talk highlights specific key decisions that very directly impact the quality and maintainability of a micro service architecture, covering infrastructure, continuous deployment, communication, event streaming, language choice and more, all to ensure that our teams and systems remain productive as we scale.
