We're bringing Randy back! Randy Shoup spoke at our meetup group in July but only made it about halfway through his talk, as the session was very engaging and interactive. This time we have scheduled ample time for Randy to deliver his full talk, and for Q&A.
Agenda:
6:30 - 7:00: Pizza and socializing
7:00 - 7:15: Welcome and announcements
7:15 - 8:45: From Monolith to Microservices; Lessons from Google and eBay
From Monolith to Microservices; Lessons from Google and eBay
Most large-scale web companies have evolved their system architecture from a monolithic application and monolithic database to a set of loosely coupled microservices.
Using examples from Google, eBay, and other large-scale sites, this talk outlines the pros and cons of these different stages of evolution, and makes practical suggestions about when and how other organizations should consider migrating to microservices. It concludes with some more advanced implications of a microservices architecture, including SLAs, cost-allocation, and vendor-customer relationships within the organization.
