Description:
Abstract: My personal experience as a witness of each evolution steps of an E-commerce backend system from a huge Monolith application into the Microservices architecture written mostly in Python. This will cover reason behind each steps, problems we've faced and practices we've learned along the way.
Description: This is my personal experience with one of my previous employer. I joined them at the time that their entire company backend was run on a huge PHP based Monolith application which cannot scale out and required the largest Amazon EC2 instance at that time in order to handle all the workloads. By the time I left them, we have successfully migrated the system into Microservices architecture. This talk will walk you through multiple points of time during that period. Explaining how we gradually pull functionalities out of the legacy system. What kind of challenges have we faced along the way. What have we learned so far.
