Software developers and architects increasingly turn to microservices as a framework for improving the agility and velocity of their development efforts. But is it the right approach? This video presents a balanced view of the benefits and drawbacks of microservices. It outlines the motivations driving the adoption of microservices; compares and contrasts it to monolithic architecture; describes solutions to key problems such as inter-service communication and distributed data management; and moves on to a set of strategies for refactoring a monolithic application into a set of microservices

. – Understand how microservice architecture tames complexity in large applications – Discover strategies for partitioning an application into microservices

– Examine deployment patterns like multiple services per host and service per virtual machine – Understand the issues surrounding API gateways, service discovery, and service registration – Discover the microservice chassis

– a framework for easily creating small short lived services

– Explore the problem of data consistency in microservices and solutions to that problem

– Learn about event sourcing, implementing queries, and command query responsibility segregation
