performance requirements @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
memory footprint is money startup time is money @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
ahead of time compilation is (actually) a good idea @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation

“we’re moving too slowly. we should modernise our COBOL application into microservices. @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
“we’re moving too slowly. we should modernise our COBOL application into microservices. … but our release board only meets twice a year.” @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
modularity @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
microservices are not the goal @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
microservices are not the goal they are the means @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation

reasons not to do microservices small team not planning to release independently don’t want complexity of a service mesh - or worse yet, rolling your own domain model doesn’t split nicely @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
“each of our microservices has duplicated the same object model … with twenty classes and seventy fields” @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
Domain Microservice @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
Domain Microservice @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
Domain Microservice (this is bad) @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
If you’re going to do microservices, you need to get good at automation. And testing. @holly_cummins #IBMGarage + IBM Cloud © 2020 IBM Corporation
