Register for March Microservices meetup!

Hey everyone!

Our guest speakers this month will be Richard Rodger from nearForm and Ugo Matrangolo from Gilt Tech.

Talk Title: Solving Service Discovery: How Node.js microservices can find each other without a registry.

by Richard Rodger CEO at nearForm (http://www.nearform.com/)

Microservices bring many benefits, enabling rapid development, making continuous delivery easier, and making fine-grained scaling practical. But this architecture is a distributed system and brings with it all the associated challenges of such systems, not least of which is the need for individual services to find each other. Deciding how to solve the service discovery problem is a key decision point for any architect building microservice systems.

Talk Title: Writing Microservices in Go.

by Ugo Matrangolo

Principal engineer at Gilt Tech (http://tech.gilt.com/)

One of the benefits of the Microservices architecture is that it enables a high degree of independence between teams and different parts of the system. Gilt is bringing this philosophy to its extreme consequences by building and deploying microservices in different programming languages, trying out new things and eventually throwing them in the bin if they did not work out as expected. One of the latest trend was exploring what options we have outside of the JVM. Among many we decided to try out GoLang to develop one of our core component. In this talk we will describe our experience developing in a full Go ecosystems discussing its pro and cons, what are the natural use cases where it can be profitably applied and its limitations.
