"Problems you’ll face in the microservice world"

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Clever Cloud runs 400 microservices and finds the real problems are authentication, configuration, messaging and service sizing not architecture buzzwords. Built a RabbitMQ backbone to duplicate events for analytics and uses Warp 10 for time-series; a homemade reverse proxy failed and was rewritten overnight. Prefer environment variables and immutable deploys for config, and recommend RabbitMQ for event duplication plus JWT or macaroons for auth delegation; avoid tiny chatty services and automate deployments and maintenance.
