Message-Based Microservices Architectures - Benefits and Practical Matters

To build a microservices solution you go through a process of factoring your business capabilities into well defined domains, sub domains and microservices. While this results in more moving parts, dependent on container platforms and DevOps procedures to manage it well, it also enables co-evolution of services and features with reduced friction. One of the biggest challenges is rethinking the back-end whereby each microservice owns its own data model - completely decoupled from the rest of the system. Embracing eventual consistency, and incorporating a message-based architecture can help with this, and services that "fit in your head" make for a manageable approach to introducing message-based strategies. This session will show you how to build a docker-based solution that incorporates async messaging, CQRS patterns, fit for purpose data back-ends and eventual consistency as part of a microservices solution. In addition, the session will address specific challenges such as dealing with message order, versioning, poison messages and data protection.
