Microservices Manchester 2016: Microservices are so 2015, Whats Next? Keynote By Michael Hausenblas

This keynote’s title is a little bit tongue-in-cheek but contains a grain of truth: microservices have been around for a few years. Martin Fowler documented them in 2014 and conceptually they originate in the Unix philosophy of small units doing one thing and one thing only; but that hopefully very efficient and effective. The uptake of µS has been, in certain areas, very promising in other parts not so much. We will have a look at areas where people—especially more traditional businesses—struggle to adopt microservices (hint: little to do with tooling), where it works out great and also how one of the next (natural?) steps might look like: serverless computing and its implications.
