Microservices Forum
Microservices are here to stay.
15 years ago when Microservices architectures first appeared on the scene, many organisations expressed doubts that loosely coupled services would work for them.
The tide has long since turned. Services we use every day like Gmail, Netflix and Amazon are entirely reliant on Microservices, with even some of the most traditional industries have embraced and integrated Microservices.
It's clear that Microservices aren't going anywhere: A 2021 IBM survey† found that 56% of organisations are very likely or likely to adopt a microservices approach in the next two years.
Join us at the Microservices Forum where we'll welcome 3 of the world's top Microservice experts — Chris Richardson, James Lewis and Sarah Wells — to discuss what's next in Microservices, and explore what it means to work and live in an increasingly decoupled world.
Microservices Forum features keynotes from

Dark energy and dark matter are useful metaphors for the repulsive forces, which encourage decomposition into services, and the attractive forces, which resist decomposition. You must balance these conflicting forces when defining a microservice architecture including when designing system operations (a.k.a. requests) that span services. In this talk, I describe the dark energy and dark matter forces. You will learn how to design system operations that span services using microservice architecture collaboration patterns: Saga, Command-side replica, API composition, and CQRS patterns. I describe how each of these patterns resolve the dark energy and dark matter forces differently.

Research from the Santa Fe institute on Complex Adaptive Systems over the last 20 years seems to point to a grand unified theory of organisational design. So have we cracked it? Do we now have the answer to the question: how do we create and scale high performing software and organisations?

About the speaker...
James LewisJames is a Software Architect and Director at ThoughtWorks based in the UK. He’s proud to have been a part of Thoughtworks’ journey for over fifteen years and its ongoing mission of delivering technical excellence for its clients and in amplifying positive social change for an equitable future. As a member of the Thoughtworks Technical Advisory Board, the group that creates the Technology Radar, he contributes to industry adoption of open source and other tools, techniques, platforms, and languages. He is an internationally recognised expert on software architecture and design and on its intersection with organisational design and lean product development. As such he’s been a guest editor for IEEE Software, written articles, delivered training, and spoken at more conferences than he can remember. James defined the new Microservices architectural style back in 2014 along with Martin Fowler. Currently, the Microservices industry is worth in excess of $20 billion annually. James’ primary consulting focus these days is on helping organisations with technology strategy, distributed systems design and adoption of SOA. He freely admits that it’s only by standing on the shoulders of giants that he’s been able to make the contributions to the industry that he has. |

Dark Energy, Dark Matter and Microservice Architecture Collaboration Patterns
Featuring Chris Richardson
In this talk Chris Richardson discusses how to balance two opposing forces in microservices architecture: the repulsive forces that drive the decomposition of your application into services, and the attractive forces that resist decomposition and bind software elements together.
