Go micro with Microservices

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Shows extracting parts of a monolith (recommendation engine scaled to 1 million pageviews in a week) into independent services built with PHP 7 and Silex/Symfony while using RabbitMQ/AMQP for async communication, composable UIs or an API gateway for aggregation, and caching with Varnish. Covers operational needs: service discovery (ZooKeeper), correlation IDs for distributed logs, circuit breakers, and monitoring with InfluxDB + Grafana. Warns that preparation can take months — one company spent six months and shipped one trivial microservice — and that eventual consistency is inevitable.
