Microservices is the new black. Distributed systems fail in the most spectacular ways, and hence architecting for failures is of utmost importance. Assume that everything will fail, and design backwards. Using examples of real life outages and failures, this session covers best practices for building resilient, stable, and predictable services as the cornerstones of working with microservice-based architectures. Key Takeaways are: Expect the unexpected. Dismiss nothing when it comes to debugging issues. Identify systemic weaknesses and take control of failures before they take control. Plan for resiliency through the stages of development to production and post production.
