Σχετικά με το Workshop
In our more and more connected world where people are used to managing their lives via digital services, it has become mandatory for a successful company to build applications that can scale with the popularity of the company’s services. Scalability is not the only requirement but similarly important is that modern applications are highly available and fast because users are not willing to wait in our ever faster-moving world. Due to this, we have seen a shift from the classic monolith towards microservice architectures which promise to be more easily scalable. The emergence of serverless functions further strengthened this trend more recently.
By implementing a microservice architecture, application developers are all of a sudden exposed to the realm of distributed applications with its seemingly limitless scalability but also its pitfalls nobody tells you about upfront. So instead of solving business domain problems, developers find themselves fighting with race conditions, distributed failures, inconsistencies, and in general a drastically increased complexity. In order to solve some of these problems, people introduce endless retries, timeouts, sagas, and distributed transactions. These band-aids can quickly result in a not-so-scalable system that is brittle and hard to maintain.
This session will talk about the considerations and solutions that exist for these issues.
