The Entity Microservice Trap - You May Be Doing It Wrong

Explore the potential pitfalls of microservices implementation in this 30-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2016. Delve into various approaches to microservices architecture, from Fred Brooks' design principles to modern rapid deployment techniques. Learn about the importance of breaking apart databases, implementing asynchronous support, and understanding connascence as defined by Jim Weirich. Examine the Cynefin Framework and consider alternatives like event buses and distributed, heterogeneous databases. Gain insights from Fred George, an early adopter of Object-Oriented programming and Agile methodologies, as he advocates for microservices and programmer anarchy, challenging conventional wisdom in software design and implementation.
