No Next Next: Fighting Entropy in Your Microservices Architecture
Great! You’ve created your microservices architecture and you are reaping the benefits of independently deployable units and teams being wholly responsible for services. But a few years on and things aren’t quite as simple, clean and independent as they were originally. Maintaining microservices takes work.
In this talk, I will talk about my experience joining the FT to lead on FT.com a few years after launch; and share some of the things that I and my team implemented to stop the drift towards an unmaintainable system and another rebuild.
You will learn:
- how to recognise some of the common problems that afflict microservices architectures
- steps to take to address them
- practices you can put in place to keep your architecture in a decent state
- tools and processes that help keep you on track

In 2018, Airbnb embarked on a high-stakes journey to transform our technology architecture from a monolithic Ruby app to a more scalable Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Pump It Up! Actually Gaining Benefit From Cloud Native Microservices
Wednesday Apr 6 / 11:50AM BST
So many organisations have flocked to 'cloud native', running containerised microservices on the public or private cloud, only to find the promised benefits fail to materialise. And we’ve seen the same story repeat itself time and again with other hyped concepts...

Securing Microservices: Preventing Vulnerability Traversal
Wednesday Apr 6 / 01:40PM BST
One of the advantages of microservices architecture is that teams can develop, maintain, and deploy each microservice independently. With single-responsibility, services can be scaled separately as required and doing so with a DevOps mentality substantially improves agility. How do we secure...
