Reactive Systems and Microservices: Anand Patel, 'Migrating Monolith to Microservices'

Migrating Monolith to Microservices

Anand Patel, Runnable

While there are many who claim adopting a microservices architecture will yield several benefits, it usually takes more work for those benefits to be fully experienced. This is especially true with monolith-to-microservices migrations, where developers still think in an synchronous REST mindset. In this talk, we'll discuss what is required to move to async services and how adopting an event-driven architecture can promote self-healing, rapid prototyping, and graceful degradation. We will also go over some guidelines on how to implement this kind of architecture with examples using RabbitMQ.
