Presentation: From Winning the Microservice War to Keeping the Peace

Many companies are focused on creating or transitioning to a microservice architecture. I will explain how this journey went for a top-tier video service & also a major games studio, and show the many advantages we found. In one company we successfully created 800+ services optimized around functionality, delivery speed and organizational structure. We won the microservices war!

However, getting there was only half the battle. Operating and evolving such significant systems reveals a number of challenges: monitoring and root cause analysis, cascading failures and scaling for major events are just some. We explain how you can use our learnings to avoid common pitfalls when working with microservices, and reveal what we would do differently if we could wind back the clock.
