Enabling Microservice Success

Microservices can be a very effective approach to delivering value to your organization and your customers. When done correctly, microservices help you act quickly and make changes to small parts of your system hundreds of times a day. However, if approached incorrectly, microservices can complicate everything. In this book, technical strategist Sarah Wells provides practical, in-depth advice for transitioning to microservices. After developing her first microservices architecture for the Financial Times in 2013, Sarah discusses the approaches you should take from the start and explains the potential pitfalls you are most likely to encounter. You will also learn how to maintain the architecture as your systems mature, minimizing the time spent on support and maintenance. With this book, you will discover the impact of microservices on software development patterns and practices, identify the organizational changes you need to make to successfully build and operate this architecture, determine the steps you must take before transitioning to microservices, and understand the traps to avoid when creating a microservices architecture – as well as learn how to recover if you fall into one.
