Transactional Microservices with Vitess - Coordination Without State

Explore transactional microservices using Vitess in this 56-minute webinar presented by Daniel Kozlowski, Minister of Engineering at PlanetScale. Learn how to create safe ACID distributed transactions that behave like those in monolithic systems, without added complexity. Discover the benefits of microservices for cloud-based services, including streamlined development, improved reliability, and faster feature delivery. Understand the challenges of data management when migrating from monolithic services to microservices. Dive into Vitess's gRPC API and learn to create applications that push transaction states into client-side objects across multiple microservices. Compare monolithic and microservice architectures, explore service boundaries, and discuss topics such as explicit session handling, locking, schema updates, and online schema changes. Gain insights into Vitess's backend support, session overhead, interfaces, and parser planner.
