New video: Cubes, Hexagons, Triangles, and More: Understanding the Microservice Architecture Through Shapes
The video of my YOW! Perth presentation Cubes, Hexagons, Triangles, and More: Understanding the Microservice Architecture Through Shapes has been published. This talk uses visual metaphors to explain:
- the motivations for the microservice architecture and why simply adopting microservices is insufficient
- the defining characteristics of the microservice architecture
- the hexagonal architecture and why it’s a good way to describe a service’s architecture
- how to effectively test an application that the microservice architecture
- applying the iceberg principle to ensure loose design time coupling of services
- using asynchronous message to ensure loose runtime coupling of services
- effective testing strategies for microservices and why end-to-end is best avoided
