Agile practices and techniques like continuous delivery are all about being able to react to changes rapidly, but putting them into practice when you have a big monolith application can be difficult. Microservices offer one solution. Maria Gomez shows you how to move from a monolith to microservices by applying domain-driven design principles. Read more.

Once you decide to adopt a microservices architecture, you'll face many more decisions and questions about routing, management, observability, developer experience, and more. Mason Jones shares approaches based on his real-world experiences making the shift to microservices. Read more.

Everything fails at some level, in some way, some of the time. How we deal with those failures can ruin our day or help us learn and grow. Join James Thompson to explore some of the patterns for dealing with failure in service-based systems graciously. Read more.

Despite its success in building an engineering and DevOps culture, when Capital One embarked on the gargantuan task of embracing microservices several years ago, it had to do an analysis of which of its development and operational practices were applicable to the new architectural style and which had to be fundamentally reevaluated. Irakli Nadareishvili shares lessons learned from the process. Read more.

Allen Holub covers the ins and outs of choreographed microservice systems in depth, looking at everything from architecture and implementation details to design techniques. Read more.

Mike Amundsen walks you through building adaptable microservices that take advantage of the features of REST. You’ll learn how to design services that advertise themselves to the network, discover their own “partner” services, and can adapt to subtle changes to existing services without relying only on recode-and-redeploy patterns for maintaining overall system operation.
