PANEL DISCUSSION + Live Q&A
Panel: The Correct Number of Microservices for a System Is 489
New research from the University of Sledgham-on-the-Wold has revealed that the correct number of microservices for any software system is exactly 489. Given that, why have so many organisations used a different number of microservices? More seriously though... every situation is different, and determining how to properly employ a microservices architecture for your circumstances can be tricky. In this session the panel will discuss the architecture of their various systems, what trade-offs they have made in their design of their systems, and how their system has evolved over time.
