Pragmatic Microservices

Explore the evolution of software architecture and the pragmatic approach to microservices in this 44-minute conference talk from GOTO Stockholm 2016. Delve into the journey from monolithic applications and databases to composable microservices, guided by Randy Shoup, a 20-year Silicon Valley veteran. Learn about improving monoliths, prerequisites for successful migration, and the importance of process, organizational, and operational maturity. Discover why and how to rearchitect systems, techniques for incremental migration, and methods for breaking down monoliths. Gain insights into service anti-patterns and understand when microservices might not be the right solution for your organization. Perfect for software architects, developers, and tech leaders looking to modernize their systems and adopt microservices architecture.
