DevOps Oxford - Confessions of a Microservices Developer by Praveena Fernandes
Channel: DevOps Oxford
Date: 09/12/2018

Presentation at DevOps Oxford Meetup on 26th September 2017: https://www.meetup.com/devopsoxford/events/242568873

Microservices promises faster development, deployments, scaling and all the goodies you always wanted but never had. Highly scalable services like Netflix and Soundcloud have successfully integrated microservices not just as a way of application development, but as a structure of how the organisation runs. I have worked on a transformation project which was inspired from success stories of these organisations and adopted microservices to help move away from a monolithic system to deliver value to end users quickly and reliably. We were often faced with cultural, technical, and geographical challenges which were often different from adopting them in a startup environment.

In this talk I will share my top lessons - these include both successes and failures - which were often difficult to digest. Most importantly, I will share the successes that at the time, looked like failures.
