Principles Of Microservices by Sam Newman

Microservices are small services with independent lifecycles that work together. There is an underlying tension in that definition - how independent can you be when you have to be part of a whole?

I've spent much of the last couple of years trying to understand how to find the right balance, and in this talk/tutorial I'll be presenting the core seven principles that I think represent what makes microservices tick.

After a brief introduction of what microservices are and why they are important, we'll spend the bulk of the time looking at the principles themselves:

• Modelled Around Business Domain
• Culture Of Automation
• Hide Implementation Details
• Decentralize All The Things!
• Deploy Independently
• Isolate Failure
• Highly Observable

In terms of learning outcomes, I'd say that beginners will get a sense of what microservices are and what makes different, whereas more experienced practitioners will get an insight into practical advice into how to implement them.
