How to Split Your System into Microservices

Splitting a system into microservices is a challenging task. This talk shows how ideas like Bounded Context, migration scenarios and technical constraints can be used to build a microservice architecture. Held at WJAX 2016.

6. Microservices: Definition > No consistent definition > Microservices are modules > Independent deployment units > E.g. Docker container > Microservice owned by one team
7. Microservices: Definition Server / Container Server / Container Micro Service Micro Service
8. Microservices aim for decoupling
9. Why is the Split so Important? > Microservices implement a part of the logic > Allow isolated development of features > …and independent teams > If split is wrong, you won’t achieve goals. > …and there is just more complexity. > But there are even more goals!
10. Why Microservices? Strong Modularization Scaling Agile Sustainable development Replaceable Services Continuous Delivery Free choice of technology Handle Legacy efficient Independent Scaling Robustness Small teams develop and deploy independently Add services – not code Small Services Failure limited to single Microservice
11. Why Microservices? Scaling Agile Sustainable development Continuous Delivery Free choice of technology Handle Legacy efficient Independent Scaling Robustness Organization Deployment Units Technology
12. There are many reasons for microservices.
13. There are many scenarios for microservices.
14. Scenario and reason influence the split.
15. Bounded Context
17. UBIQUITOUS LANGUAGE VALUE OBJECT ENTITY

22. A domain model is only useful in a BOUNDED CONTEXT.
23. There is no universal data model in a large system.
24. Address for a customer VALUE OBJECT ENTITY or
25. Address for calculating the drones’ routes VALUE OBJECT ENTITY or
26. Microservice = Bounded Context
27. Create some Bounded Contexts! Sir, yes, sir!
31. Why would you build a universal data model if that is neither possible nor useful??
32. Bounded Context: Challenge > Not a way to design a great architecture > …but consequence of good domain architecture > i.e. clearly separated domains will lead to separated BOUNDED CONTEXTS > …containing logic and data > How can you find BOUNDED CONTEXTS?
33. Bounded Context: Challenge > Coarse-grained > Ideal: implement a functionality in one unit > Ideal: Independence > Might have relationships > …limiting independence
34. Divide by Use Cases > Microservice should implement a use case > …ideally without calling other microservices > Divide use cases among microservices > …then decide about the BOUNDED CONTEXT

57. Technical Reasons > Independent scalability is just one technical reason > There are many more > Might be OK to share database in this scenario > Might even split read and write
58. CQRS > Command – Query Responsibility Segregation > Commands change data > Query provide data > Implement in separate microservices
