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.
