Rootconf proposals for round the year in 2018

What are microservices? When should you use them? Should you start with microservices, or migrate to them over time?
Let us look into the Eight Key Principles for doing microservices well:

1. Model Around Your Business Domain: Domain-driven design can help you find stable, reusable boundaries
2. Build a Culture of Automation: More moving parts means automation is key
3. Hide Implementation Details: One of the pitfalls that distributed systems can often fall into is tightly coupling their services together
4. Embrace Decentralization: To achieve autonomy, push power out of the center, organizationally and architecturally
5. Deploy Independently: Perhaps the most important characteristic microservices need
6. Focus on Consumers First: As the creator of an API, make your service easy to consume
7. Isolate Failure: Microservice architecture doesn’t automatically make your systems more stable
8. Make Them Highly Observable: With many moving parts, understanding what is happening in your system can be challenging
