Backend Web Berlin - Microservices

The topic of our August meetup is Microservice Architecture. Microservices have been around for some time and many companies have adopted this approach and are ready to share their experiences. Let's talk about microservice technologies, problems and solutions!

Agenda:

A reference Architecture for devOps enabled MicroServices based scalable Backends using NoSQL and In-Memory technologies by Romeo Kienzler

The Enterprise ecosystem was disrupted as new players like Amazon, Google and Netflix defined and proved new concepts like BASE consistency, continuous delivery with multiple automatic production releases per day and
moving from horizontal to vertical micro services infrastructures. I will show that these concepts can be distilled to a very compact reference architecture and will also give a demonstrations of all the components
working together in the cloud. Of course there is a lot of freedom which components to choose but the components of my demonstration will be: Git, Jenkins, ant, JUnit, CloudFoundry, Docker, CouchDB, Node.js, AngularJS

• Microservices at Adsquare by Fritz Richter

adsquare is Europe’s leading platform for mobile audience data. The company leverages consumers’ local context and mobile behavior for programmatic advertising and helps advertisers and agencies to pinpoint their target group to make ads more relevant. An important part of the system is integrating partner data like socio-demographic, point-of-interest, event and other types of data relevant for modeling target groups. Micro services are a natural fit for encapsulating and handling data from different sources. This talk will focus on technologies used at adsquare that help to facilitate micro service architecture and the decision paths for choosing these technologies. Some examples are Spring Boot for creating new services within minutes, Resteasy for communication between services instead of writing service clients, Consul for service discovery as well as Spring Cloud for managing properties for different environments and Datadog for monitoring.

• Microservices at Soundcloud by Bora Tunca

As the engineering organization at Soundcloud, we follow microservices architecture to build the software that powers our products. Since the time it is incepted, we had to revise our architecture regularly to keep up with the growing number of engineers and microservices. While our current architecture is serving us, we are always in search for improvements to meet the requirements of a growing business. This talk will give an insight into how Soundcloud is organizing its microservices to deliver a reliable service to its users and to keep its engineering teams productive in a growing organization.
