All the mistakes I've made trying to implement Microservices
We're now entering the next age of Microservices. For about a decade now we've been doing battle with the pointy haired bosses of the world to convince them of what seems so painfully obvious to us; that there are many varied virtues of microservices architecture.
Now that they all have Netflix accounts and they've seen the benefits first hand we now seem to have those same bosses bursting into the office waving their trade magazine and asking us if we've heard about this "micro-system" thing. Flustered, we're having coming to terms now with how we actually deliver on our lofty promises without Amazon's finances and resources.
Some people have been getting it right the first time they've tried which is great! Other people, like me, have got it right as well.....but....not before getting it wrong repeatedly for oh so many different reasons! So, I guess that makes me an expert, right?!
Come listen as I shamefully regale you with all ways in which I've ham-fisted the most elegant architecture currently known to humanity in hopes that I might save you from the same sleepless nights.
About Zac
Lead Developer
Zac is a Lead Fullstack Javascript developer at Koodoo.io where he helps to try and save people money on their mortgages. This makes him feel super good about how he spends his days.
Zac has been developing for a number of years, 5 or 6 I think, I don't know who is counting? In that time has seen a very diverse set of tech and industries. Up until his current role he was working with the .NET stack so even languages are sacred to him. For Zac it's all about the next challenge and in the past that thirst for knowledge has seen him working with everything from hulking 20 year old Classic ASP monoliths to greenfield node microservices on bleed edge architecture and good amount of stuff in between.
On the side Zac is active in the developer community writing blog posts, doing talks and mentoring other developers through their journeys in meet ups and online. When he isn't in front of his computer at work he is out geocaching with his sons and wife, playing D and D with friends or......let's face it probably on the computer still coding or gaming.
