Podcast: On Microservices Design and Implementation by Bob Rhubart
June 26, 2019 Leave a comment
"Like buying a Ferrari and towing it around with a horse."
That’s how Java Champion and Microservices Patterns (Manning Publications) author Chris Richardson describes the approach some organizations take to implementing microservices. It’s often a matter of faulty motivation.
In helping organizations around the world get started with microservices, the first question Chris asks his clients is, "Why do you want microservices?" The responses are often surprising. "I’ve talked to people who viewed microservices as magic pixie dust. You sprinkle it on things and everything will be better," Chris reports.
Another problem is the mistaken belief that the goal is microservices. "Microservices is a means to an end," Chris says. From a DevOps perspective, "there are two really good metrics," Chris explains. "One of them is deployment frequency, how often you’re deploying into production. The other one is lead time, the time from commit to deploy. To me, those are the two metrics that you should be optimizing. Microservices is the way to get there." Listen to the podcast here.
