Microservices make your colleagues less annoying. Microservices are guaranteed bug-free. Microservices: Good design built-in! Kittens love microservices. Microservices vaporize unclean code. Microservices. The best thing since sliced bread. Every microservice comes with a free puppy. http://ibm.biz/bluemixgaragelondon @holly_cummins

So remember… http://ibm.biz/bluemixgaragelondon • Decoupling is more than just HTTP communication • Some of your microservices will fail. Be resilient. • I ♥ WebSphere Liberty • JEE is great for microservices (especially with microprofile) • Hybrid cloud makes a lot of cool stuff possible @holly_cummins

Are microservices a wonder-pattern for rescuing intractably complex applications? Or are they just a restatement of the software engineering best practices we all should be following anyway? Or something in between?
How do they work? How should they be written? What are the pitfalls? What are the underpinning technologies?
The following resources were mentioned during the presentation or are useful additional information.
Somehow, the buzz surrounding microservices has us believing that every single employee and enterprise must break up their monolith empires and follow the microservices trend. But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, says JAX London speaker Holly Cummins.
Here’s what was said about this presentation on social media.
