The Hype and the Hope of Microservices, John De Goes at Scalac's Event

The talk was given on Between Business & Tech. Episode 1: The Microservices online event.

The Hype and the Hope of Microservices

Microservices. Some love them. Some hate them. But one thing cannot be denied: they have forever altered the way behemoths such as Amazon and Netflix architect, develop, maintain, deploy, and operate large-scale distributed software systems.

In this short talk by John A. De Goes, you'll get a chance to learn and reflect on where microservices came from, what they offer that other architectures do not, and how both current and future technology choices can help mitigate some of the drawbacks that come from modernizing legacy Enterprise software with cloud-native microservices designs.
