Event-Driven Microservices, the Sense, the Non-sense and a Way Forward - Allard Buijze

Why microservices
monolith that is well-structured, can scale as well




What goes in one service?
What goes in another?


order
customer
product
inventory


Are you micro-pile-of-shit?
- redeploy multiple services at one
- strong dependencies on other service before you can do something

"just go up, and then go right"

anti-modularity forces
suit & tie telling you "the deadline shifted"
technical debt

"""
it's all about discipline
if you can't wax a car, forget about karate
If you can't build a monolith, forget about microservices
"""

there is a journey towards microservices
1) build monolith
2) compnents
3) split off services => non-functional requirements

assume components are not on the same deployment


inverted

"if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

event patterns
event notification: "something changed"
event-carried state transfer: "this changed"
event sourcing: everything becomes an event

duplicate logic
item is ordered if added, not removed, then ordered

event: explain something happened
command: intent to change something
queries: need for information

=> event notification

!= just save all the events


event handling

Event sourcing check:
throw away everything, except your eventstore


storage is cheap
everything is complex at first
forget about state, think about behavior

"if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

:) can I do this one change?
:( "give me all orders above 100$"

:) can I do this one change?
:) "give me all orders above 100$"

events -> contracts with unknown services

consumer driven contracts

within context, want details
across borders, high level

assign services to bounded context

anti corruption layer


use them as explicitly as events


monolith first
disciplined modules
split off services
