Abstract

Talks about three different ‘types’ of microservices (Stateless, Persistence, and Aggregation) and why you need to design and implement each of them differently. Also reviews typical challenges of implementing components on a network including references to Michael Nyaard’s Fail-Fast, Circuit-Breaker and others patterns.

Some ideas mentioned in the Q&A:

  • Create a checklist to help devs

  • Make these patterns into playing cards

  • Would be cool to have a developer UI that prompted for these patterns, suggested solutions

  • "Is retry covered in the Nygaard book?" (not sure)
