Keep Architecture Simple, Sir: You Don’t Need Microservices Yet
In a world where everyone talks about Microservices, containers and Kubernetes, it can be very inviting to jump on this bandwagon, no matter your actual need for it.
In this talk, we’ll look at a real-life story of scaling back from an over exaggerated Microservices architecture, in an e-com solution for an European leader within their industry. For them, Microservices was way overkill for the needs of the company and the technical organization. We’ll look at a reverse approach, where you start as simple as possible and start making things more complicated only when needed.
There are some good mental guidelines that you can think about, step by step, as a checklist for when it’s time to move forward. This might eventually end up in a Microservice architecture, but that’s very rarely the most balanced starting point.
