Welcome to the first of what is hopefully a regular roundup of what’s new and relevant in the world of microservices. In the past week:
Russ Miles (@russmiles) announced µCon, the first conference about microservices. It takes place in London on November 27th-28th.
Martin Fowler (@martinfowler) published the final installments of his in-depth article about microservices.
Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz compared microservices with SOA and argued that “microservices” is not a good term.
Gawain Hammond (@gawainhammond) wrote a blog post on microservices defending the term “microservices”.
@rrees wrote in interesting summary of a session on microservices at the Scale Summit.
Chris Richardson (@crichardson) published Thoughts about #microservices – less micro, more service? that suggested that there should be more emphasis on “service” and less on “micro”.
There was also the ongoing twitter discussion.
And then there was this:

Microservices.io is brought to you by Chris Richardson. Experienced software architect, author of POJOs in Action, the creator of the original CloudFoundry.com, and the author of Microservices patterns.
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.
I help organizations improve agility and competitiveness through better software architecture.
Learn more about my consulting engagements, and training workshops.
Chris offers numerous other resources for learning the microservice architecture.
Want to see an example? Check out Chris Richardson's example applications. See code
My virtual bootcamp, distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture, is now open for enrollment!
It covers the key distributed data management patterns including Saga, API Composition, and CQRS.
It consists of video lectures, code labs, and a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.
The regular price is $395/person but use coupon CCMHVSFB to sign up for $95 (valid until November 8th, 2024). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
Take a look at my Manning LiveProject that teaches you how to develop a service template and microservice chassis.
Engage Chris to create a microservices adoption roadmap and help you define your microservice architecture,
Use the Eventuate.io platform to tackle distributed data management challenges in your microservices architecture.
Eventuate is Chris's latest startup. It makes it easy to use the Saga pattern to manage transactions and the CQRS pattern to implement queries.
