ADDRESSING THE FUD
SOME COMMON RESERVATIONS
ALL THESE DEPENDENCIES ADD TOO MUCH RISK WHAT IF THEY GO AWAY? WHAT IF THEY BREAK? CAN THEY BE TRUSTED?
ALL THESE DEPENDENCIES ADD TOO MUCH RISK Their entire business depends on their continued good standing of this specific service. Their success demands dedicated domain experts. What team would you allocate to each of these capabilities?
USING LOTS OF SERVICES WILL IMPACT PERFORMANCE THIS IS GOING TO RUN LIKE A DOG!
USING LOTS OF SERVICES WILL IMPACT PERFORMANCE There is likely to be far more dedicated engineering and infrastructure for each dedicated service than you’d be able to dedicate. A service which is “nearby” isn’t necessarily faster
WE CAN’T LET THIS CONTENT OUT OF OUR CONTROL YOU’RE SUGGESTING WE GIVE AWAY THE FAMILY JEWELS
WE CAN’T LET THIS CONTENT OUT OF OUR CONTROL Each vendor is likely to have more strict and established compliance and regulations than you’d be ready to commit to yourself. Look for certification and compliance when selecting vendors.
USING THESE SERVICES WILL LOCK US IN WHAT IF WE WANT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES?
USING THESE SERVICES WILL LOCK US IN Using APIs demands that you have clear delineation and build to defined integrations. You’ll probably have looser coupling and greater flexibility than building everything together in-house.

THANKS @PHILHAWKSWORTH
With so many of the tools we need to build compelling web experiences now being available as a service, we have the ability to build with more speed and confidence than ever before. But how does this change the way we plan and design our projects?
This talk will explore the opportunities and the common concerns about building with decoupled architectures. And we’ll look at how an idea can flourish thanks to the workflows and capabilities of decoupled architectures and modern tooling.
