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.
