Enabling Microservice Success: Managing Technical, Organizational, and Cultural Challenges
Do you have too many microservices? Sarah Wells knows the answer! The answer is not 42, but it's pretty close! But seriously, Sarah has a lot of experience in building microservices, recently published an book about "Enabling Microservice Success", and in this video shares some of her experiences and recommendations.
It is interesting to see that the "make them as small as you can" mantra that was sometimes passed around now is increasingly being questioned. In the end, the goal of microservices never was a specific size or number, but instead an increase of engineering flow by better aligning teams and software components. When you have overly fine-grained microservices, you pay overhead in a variety of ways without getting much benefit out of it.
In the end microservices was just another way to discover and put into good use Conway's law: You cannot avoid the consequences of your organizational structure for the systems that you build, but you can benefit from that fact by aligning the components of your system with your organizational structure.
If you want to learn more about the right number of microservices and how to use them in the most effective way, check out Sarah's new book. And in case you want to learn about Conway's law, there's a video for that!
