The industry has been pursuing the promise of microservices for nearly three years now. While the concepts are certainly not new, the driving need for this new breed of service-oriented architecture is very real. Modern businesses expect an unprecedented degree of agility and flexibility from thier systems that you can only deliver by increasing your system’s modularity. If you don’t figure it out first, your competitors eventually will. And yet, there’s still a great deal of hype and confusion in the industry today surrounding the notion of microservices and how you should build systems with them. Therein lies your problem. Practical microservice guidance derived from real world experience is in very short demand.

In this intense experience-packed session, microservice expert Michael ‘Monty’ Montgomery will attack the problems inherent to current microservice thought leadership revealing the 10 most common fallacies of microservices he frequently observes in the field. Monty will explore fallacies such as, treating Internet and Intranet services the same, arbitrary service granularity, ubiquitous service accessibility, ambiguous composition, the proliferation of endpoints, egregious data duplication, synchronous coupling and most of all the mistake of decomposing microservices solely by domain alone.

To combat these problems, Monty will reveal the essential techniques that have brought him success delivering microservice systems. Throughout Monty will discuss the critical rationale behind each design decision he presents highlighted by examples from real world microservice-based systems.
