Key Takeaways
Although we can find case studies about microservices migrations, there are still a lot of companies in the industry that haven’t touched the microservices strategy yet.
The current microservices approaches are more complex than they used to be. We build more complex systems, with a more complex architecture, so we have a more complex landscape and a deeper learning curve as consequence.
Monitoring and tracing microservices are some of the biggest challenges, besides its complexity.
The event-driven architecture is a great way to build microservices, especially in terms of communication between different services.
Wes Reisz moderated an InfoQ Live roundtable on the impact of microservices, dealing with operational complexity, and alternatives to the microservices model. The participants were Leif Beaton (NGINX senior solutions architect), Yan Cui (independent AWS and serverless consultant), and Nicky Wrightson (Skyscanner principal engineer).
