More the Merrier: a Microservices Anti-pattern (with Chris Richardson)

We're back in 2023 talking all things Platforms and Engineering.

Kicking off this January, we are very pleased and excited to welcome Chris Richardson back to our shores to give us his latest talk on the topic of Microservices.

We're also pleased to be hosted by NAB in their beautiful new building - the NAB Events Hub at 395 Bourke Street. Places are limited, so please register your intention to attend.

More the Merrier: a Microservices Anti-pattern

A common microservice architecture anti-pattern is more the merrier. It occurs when an organization team builds an excessively fine-grained architecture, e.g. one service-per-developer. In this talk, you will learn about the criteria that you should consider when deciding service granularity. I'll discuss the downsides of a fine-grained microservice architecture. You will learn how sometimes the solution to a design problem is simply a JAR file.
