Design principles to the rescue of micro-services

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

The talk explains how applying design principles from domain-driven design and architecture can help when building microservice-based systems, warning that naive decomposition risks creating a distributed monolith. It names microservices explicitly, discusses the implementation difficulties and trade-offs, and references slide material for concrete guidance on structuring services and boundaries.
