Microservice Architecture
Supported by KongA pattern language for microservices
Patterns and pattern languages are very useful tools for making decisions about technology in general, and software architecture in particular. I first gave a version of this talk in 2016, possibly earlier and have given it a few times since then. But as far as I can remember it’s been a number of years since I last gave a talk that was focussed on patterns and pattern languages. Here is a revised version of the talk that I gave remotely to the University of São Paulo.
Abstract
The microservice architecture has tremendous benefits. However, it’s not a silver bullet and it has some significant drawbacks. The goal of the microservices pattern language is to enable software developers to apply the microservice architecture effectively. It is a collection of patterns that solve architecture, design, development and operational problems. In this talk, I’ll provide an overview of the microservice architecture and describe the motivations for the pattern language. You will learn about the key patterns in the pattern language.

Need help adopting microservices?
I provide consulting and training to help you use the microservice architecture effectively.
About Microservices.io
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.
Chris helps clients around the world adopt the microservice architecture through consulting engagements, and training workshops.
MICROSERVICES WORKSHOPS
Chris teaches comprehensive workshops for architects and developers that will enable your organization use microservices effectively.
Avoid the pitfalls of adopting microservices and learn essential topics, such as service decomposition and design and how to refactor a monolith to microservices.

Remote consulting session
Got a specific microservice architecture-related question? For example:
- Wondering whether your organization should adopt microservices?
- Want to know how to migrate your monolith to microservices?
- Facing a tricky microservice architecture design problem?
Consider signing up for a two hour, highly focussed, consulting session.
Virtual bootcamp: Distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture
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 MECNPWNR to sign up for $120 (valid until May 16th, 2023). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
Learn how to create a service template and microservice chassis
Take a look at my Manning LiveProject that teaches you how to develop a service template and microservice chassis.

Consulting services
Engage Chris to create a microservices adoption roadmap and help you define your microservice architecture,
The Eventuate platform
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.
