About the track
Microservices solve numerous problems around cognitive load, velocity, isolation, and scalability - if you get them right!
In Operating Microservices: Patterns for Sucess, we bring you practical advice around what good really looks like with system observability, patterns of integrating with legacy codebases, and situations when microservices were NOT the right answer, and the most common issues encountered when it comes to day 2 operations with microservices.
Microservices are an effective way to solve many problems in software, but it’s also a great way to introduce them if not done (and operated) well.
Sessions in this track
Tuesday 25 October. 6 sessions per track, chosen and introduced by the Track Host.
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. They also introduce complexity, increased reliance on the network, observability challenges, and, often, request latency.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.
