Abstract
Microservices improve cognitive load, velocity, isolation, and scalability. They also introduce complexity, increased reliance on the network, observability challenges, and, often, request latency.
In “Building Performant Microservice Architectures", Wes Reisz–track host for the Microservice track and Technical Principal at Thoughtworks–is joined by a panel of Microservice experts, including Chris Richardson, Cassandra Shum, Zhamak Dehghani, and Ian Thomas, to discuss strategies and practices around building high performance into your microservice architecture.
The group will discuss caching strategies, common bottlenecks, data storage, and architecture. The structure will start will a set of questions and then welcome questions from the audience.
QCon San Francisco 2022 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.

10:35 Seacliff D Session Unconference: Microservices Shane Hastie Global Delivery Lead for SoftEd and Lead Editor for Culture & Methods at InfoQ.com What is an unconference? At QCon SF, we’ll have unconferences in most of our tracks. 11:50 Ballroom A Session Microservices Dark Energy, Dark Matter and the Microservices Patterns?! Chris Richardson Creator of microservices.io, Java Champion, & Core Microservices Thoughtleader Dark matter and dark energy are mysterious concepts from astrophysics that are used to explain observations of distant stars and galaxies. 13:40 Ballroom A Session Microservices Orchestration vs Choreography, A Guide To Composing Your Monolith Ian Thomas Software Engineer @Meta, QCon London 2024 PC Chair, Previously Technology Leader @Genesis Global Microservices promise rapid evolution, operational independence, and technological freedom but come with imperceptible drag factors. Left unchecked, this drag leads to distributed balls of mud – hard to operate, evolve and maintain. 14:55 Seacliff ABC Session Microservices [Recording] Overcomplicated Architecture: Scaling Bottleneck Cassandra Shum Technologist | Architect | Ex-Thoughtworks As a digital scale-up continues to gain momentum and grow rapidly, one of the key determining factors of success is how quickly they can evolve their product. The business desires to push features to production as fast as possible and prove value to its customers. 16:10 Pacific DEKJ Session Untrusted Execution: Attacking the Cloud Native Supply Chain Francesco Beltramini Security Engineering Manager @controlplaneio Should we trust the code we run in production? Not if a motivated attacker can compromise our system’s complex supply chains. While hardened runtimes and detection can mitigate some zero day attacks, malicious internal threat actors and software implants are much harder to detect. 17:25 Ballroom A Session Panel: Building Performant Microservice Architectures Chris Richardson, Ian Thomas, Todd Montgomery Microservices improve cognitive load, velocity, isolation, and scalability.
