Headwind for Microservices?
Cheng Wu has a great insight here on what could become a headwind for microservices adoption. Short read, and worth the time...

I have been involved in my organization to move some (and soon most) of the existing monolithic services to microservices. IMHO, never even try to convert your current application in to a microservice based architecture - start from scratch. There are some excellent patterns which addresses most of the issues and concerns in the article, one such pattern is the reactive pattern (https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/defining-a-reactive-microservice). Are we there yet, absolutely not, but any new software or a service has to be microservice - no matter where you would want to deploy.

8 年Great article Jay. Thanks for sharing. Reading these types of articles gives me the feeling of deja vu. Internodal communications and challenges of movement of data has existed in HPC scientific community for several decades. These are the same challenges in a bigger scale...very enjoyable!
