If this sounds like Powerpoint and Excel, well, in that case think of me as a regular software developer.<\/p>\n<p>Microservices were practically unavoidable during the last couple of years. First &#8211; as always in our industry &#8211; presented as the solution to all our problems, and as reality came back into the discussion, as something that may involve certain tradeoffs. Especially if you leave Greenfield-projects and Hello World-projects behind you.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, and I am a father of three and a total football nut!<\/p>\n<h3>What will you be talking about at Voxxed Days Microservices?<\/h3>\n<p>As developers (and architects) we tend to jump unto the latest bandwagon. This talk is about anti-patterns and tradeoffs that we encountered in various rather large projects within the financial and insurance industry.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t believe that what I am talking about is terrible innovative or new, but rather well known. Nevertheless, we sometimes ignore lessons learned and keep burning ourselves time and time again.<\/p>\n<p>I try to look at the errors we keep repeating and hope that we all have a couple of laughs while doing so.<\/p>\n<h3>So obviously, with such a talk, you came across different problems introduced by microservice architecture ? Would you still encourage companies to migrate to that path or to be careful and migrate only if needed ?<\/h3>\n<p>For me, architecture is mostly answering the question: \u201c<em>how do I want people to communicate when working together<\/em>\u201d. I was approached by a fellow coder, who thought I was discouraging the use of microservices. To be clear: I am not! As with every tool, we just need to be aware of the tradeoffs.<\/p>\n<p>To cut it short: if you are working in an agile software delivery process, then my first instinct would be, that microservices could be a good fit.<\/p>\n<p>Basically: \u201c<em>It depends<\/em>\u201d. Maybe I should come up with a talk \u201c<em>Microservices are hard, but so is your Monolith<\/em>\u201d. There are no easy answers.<\/p>\n<h3>Good, see you soon then<\/h3>\n<p>Beware naive advice. Beware silver bullets. Always keep in mind, that success stories always come with an untold story&#8230; something like \u201c<em>we needed 5 years of hard work to get where we are<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>#microservices #epicfail #resumedrivendevelopment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/koenighotze\">@koenighotze<\/a><br \/>\nBlog: <a href=\"http:\/\/koenighotze.de\/\">koenighotze.de<\/a><br \/>\nLinkedIn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/david-schmitz-636ab725\/\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/david-schmitz-636ab725\/<\/a><br \/>\nGitHub: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/koenighotze\">https:\/\/github.com\/koenighotze<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/vxdms2018.confinabox.com\/talks\/conf\">Check the other conferences<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi David, tell us who you are and what lead you into microservices?
