Chopping the Monolith: Using Serverless for Pragmatic System Design

Explore a pragmatic approach to microservices architecture in this conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2023. Delve into the challenges companies face when implementing microservices and learn why many fail to fully capitalize on their benefits. Examine the misconception that all business capabilities require frequent deployment and discover how Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offers a middle ground between traditional monolithic systems and full microservices adoption. Gain insights into using Serverless technology to design flexible systems that allow for targeted, as-needed deployments. Compare this approach to past solutions like Rule Engines and understand how it addresses their shortcomings. Leave with a fresh perspective on balancing system stability with the need for frequent updates in specific areas of your application.
