Microservices Pitfalls

Even though teams are gaining more experience in designing and developing microservices, nevertheless there is still a lot to learn about this highly distributed and somewhat complicated architecture style. Unfortunately, lots of microservices anti-patterns and pitfalls emerge during this learning curve. Learning about these anti-patterns and pitfalls early on can help you avoid costly mistakes during your development process. While anti-patterns are things that seem like a good idea at the time and turn out bad (see martinfowler.com/bliki/AntiPattern.html), pitfalls are those practices that are never a good idea at the time - ever. In this session I will cover some of the more common pitfalls you will likely encounter while creating microservices, and most importantly describe some of the techniques for avoiding these pitfalls.
