From Macro to Micro

Explore the concept of microservices and their importance in software architecture through this conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2013. Delve into the challenges of breaking down monolithic systems into smaller, more manageable components. Learn about the factors influencing service granularity, including Conway's Law and operational considerations. Discover practical strategies for determining the optimal size and scope of microservices in your projects. Gain insights into the journey of transitioning from monolithic to microservice architectures, and understand the principles that guide effective service design. Examine real-world examples and best practices for implementing microservices, and consider the trade-offs involved in different approaches. Conclude with a summary of key takeaways and participate in a Q&A session to address specific concerns about microservice implementation.
