Capability Mapping

Explore the concept of capability mapping in microservices architecture through this comprehensive NDC Conferences talk. Delve into the definition of business capabilities, their identification process, and the significance of orienting microservices around them. Learn about building a business capability map and leveraging it to define microservice boundaries. Discover how concepts like the Inverse Conway Manoeuvre and Products not Projects can enhance agility and product velocity through aligning microservices with capabilities. Gain insights into addressing technical concerns such as integration by understanding how capability mapping provides more effective boundaries. Cover topics including the scalability challenges of monoliths, independent deployability, product mode, cohesion and coupling, process alignment, value stream mapping, event storming, and bounded contexts.

Why Microservices?
Monoliths Do Not Scale To Many Teams!
Microservices let us scale an organisation
Independent Deployability
Product Mode
A Brief History of Microservices
Microservices are partitions of software
Microservices require Common Closure
Microservices need stable partitions

Splitting Up Services
SOA is Aligned to Processes
Process & Capability
Finding Processes
Value Stream Mapping
Guest Cycle
Smart Endpoints and Dumb Pipes
Multitudes, Multitudes
Event Storming
Microservices are Bounded Contexts!
