Build Stuff'15 Lithuania

Over time, almost all large, well-known web sites have evolved their architectures from an early monolithic application to a loosely-coupled ecosystem of polyglot microservices. While first-order goals are almost always driven by the needs of scalability and velocity, this evolution also produces second-order effects on the organization as well. This session will discuss modern service architectures at scale, using specific examples from both Google and eBay.

It will cover some interesting -- and perhaps nonintuitive -- lessons learned in building and operating these sites. It continues with some more advanced implications of a microservices architecture, including SLAs, cost-allocation, and vendor-customer relationships within the organization. It concludes by exploring a set of common service anti-patterns.
