Moving away from monolithic to microservice architectures means plunging head first into the cold waters of integration and distributed systems. Platforms that have a lot of moving pieces have to be designed from the ground up to be resilient and ensure consistency of state across the system. To achieve this you need to consider problems such as how multiple services with their own state, including legacy services, ought to be coordinated; taking into account mid-operation outages in the services themselves as well the coordinating system. All while relying on non-transactional inter-service transports such as HTTP. Once the platform is deployed, to operate it you will need an insight into the overall state of the system and that of the business transactions running within it.

This presentation will describe a set of architectural patterns for building out resilient, consistent microservice-based systems that leverage off-the-shelf products that are already inside your organization. We will discuss the implications of those patterns in terms of the system's overall operation, what tooling you need to build out to effectively manage your platform, and the functionality that you need to build to support those tools. You will come out with a much clearer picture of the main considerations, as well as a list of tasks, that need to be addressed to build and operate a platform based on microservices.
