Operating Microservices: Patterns for Success

Microservices solve numerous problems around cognitive load, velocity, isolation, and scalability - if you get them right!

In Operating Microservices: Patterns for Sucess, we bring you practical advice around what good really looks like with system observability, patterns of integrating with legacy codebases, and situations when microservices were NOT the right answer, and the most common issues encountered when it comes to day 2 operations with microservices. 

Microservices are an effective way to solve many problems in software, but it’s also a great way to introduce them if not done (and operated) well.

Orchestration vs Choreography, A Guide To Composing Your Monolith

Monday Dec 5 / 10:10AM PST

Microservices promise rapid evolution, operational independence, and technological freedom but come with imperceptible drag factors. Left unchecked, this drag leads to distributed balls of mud – hard to operate, evolve and maintain.

Overcomplicated Architecture: Scaling Bottleneck

Monday Dec 5 / 11:20AM PST

As a digital scale-up continues to gain momentum and grow rapidly, one of the key determining factors of success is how quickly they can evolve their product. The business desires to push features to production as fast as possible and prove value to its customers.

Istio as a Platform for Running Microservices

Monday Dec 5 / 12:30PM PST

Not every application should follow the microservices architecture.  But for those that do, how do you solve problems relating to service discovery, load balancing, resilience, security, observability, and traffic management?  Spring Cloud projects have adopted solutions that grew out o

Untrusted Execution: Attacking the Cloud Native Supply Chain

Monday Dec 5 / 12:30PM PST

Should we trust the code we run in production? Not if a motivated attacker can compromise our system’s complex supply chains. While hardened runtimes and detection can mitigate some zero day attacks, malicious internal threat actors and software implants are much harder to detect.
