Mucon: Not Just Events: Developing Asynchronous Microservices

Here is the presentation that I gave at Mucon 2018.

Not Just Events: Developing Asynchronous Microservices

The microservice architecture functionally decomposes an application into a set of services. Each service has its own private database that’s accessible only indirectly through the services API. Consequently, implementing queries and transactions that span multiple services is challenging. In this session, you will learn how to solve these distributed data management challenges by using asynchronous messaging.

The presentation describes how to implement transactions with sagas, which are sequences of local transactions coordinated using messages. You will learn how to implement queries using Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), which uses events to maintain replicas, and will hear about the key role messaging plays in a microservice architecture.

Upcoming public workshops: Microservices and architecting for fast flow

In-person: Berlin and Milan

DevOps and Team topologies are vital for delivering the fast flow of changes that modern businesses need.

But they are insufficient. You also need an application architecture that supports fast, sustainable flow.

Learn more and register for one of my upcoming public workshops in November.
