The Art of Service Discovery at Scale

Explore the intricacies of service discovery in microservices architecture through this 36-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into the concept of service discovery and its crucial role in complex service-based architectures. Learn about Netflix's Eureka, a highly-available, multi-datacenter aware service discovery solution that prioritizes availability over consistency during network partitions. Discover the architecture of Eureka and understand what sets it apart in the field. Gain insights into topics such as the CAP Theorem, availability, durability, stateful protocols, data conflicts, replication, network partitions, and self-preservation. Understand the potential impact of failures and how to mitigate them in large-scale service discovery implementations.
