Success with Microservices: The Critical "Cs"

Microservices allow you to build systems that are scalable, flexible, and resilient, but as valuable as they are, they also come with a set of challenges that can derail your development efforts. In this talk, we will dive into the "Critical C's of Microservices" - a framework for guiding important conversations in the design, development, and maintenance of microservices that can help you determine if you should be using microservices, and if so, identify many of the oft-overlooked considerations when building them. We will cover each of the 6 C's in detail: Context, Consistency, Contract, Chaos, Competencies, and Coalescence. We will drill-in to the goals of each of the conversations including why they are important, as well as patterns and best practices for leveraging them to create great outcomes for your users, your team and your organization. You will leave this talk with a deep understanding of how to be successful when building systems using event-driven microservice architectures. Whether you are new to microservices or an experienced practitioner, this talk will provide you with the tools you need to determine if microservices are right for your use-case, and what you need to consider if you decide to move forward with a microservices architecture.
