Top 5 Techniques for Building the Worst Microservice System Ever

Discover the top 5 techniques for creating disastrous microservice systems in this humorous and insightful conference talk from NDC London 2023. Explore common pitfalls and anti-patterns in microservice architecture, including network topology coupling, big bang rewrites, and the "not invented here" syndrome. Learn about the strangler fig pattern, the engine pattern, and why some microservice implementations fail to deliver on promises of scalability, reliability, and autonomy. Gain valuable insights into distributed system mistakes through real-world examples and a tour of architectural insanity, ultimately helping you avoid these pitfalls in your own microservice implementations.
