Conference talk - QCONSF 2022: Dark Energy, Dark Matter and the Microservices Patterns?!

In this presentation, I described how dark energy and dark matter are excellent metaphors for the competing forces (a.k.a. concerns) that must be resolved by the microservices pattern language.

Some recent Twitter threads about Microservices adoption anti-patterns:

• Overview of the anti-patterns
• Red Flag law (a.k.a. Horse-drawn Ferrari)
• Trying to fly before you can walk
• More the merrier - excessively fine-grained architecture

Remote consulting, training, speaking and office hours

I help organizations around the world (the Americas, Europe and APAC) use the microservice architecture.

I provide consulting and training. I'm also available to speak at internal conferences and other corporate events.

Need help with a specific microservice architecture problem? Sign up for office hours.
