Small, sharp tools
SOA is Lego for developers
Change is easy Change is hard
Prefactoring Draw pictures & simplify
When to extract into services? Mature functionality
Environments Staging
http://12factor.net/ Deployments
Caching at every layer Performance
- Test in isolation - Integration tests Testing
Everything Automate
Warning! Polyglot?
Reuse & Consistency
Nooo! Centralised Database
Keep checking the big picture
/api/v2/gorillas Versioning
Parallel HTTP requests
Small steps
Conclusions
1. Discipline pays
2. Minimise coupling
3. Small services
4. Reduce complexity
5. Check the big picture
START SMALL STAY SMALL
The future
