Talks on performant microservices, exception handling and documentation driven development.

I have three talks I am giving at the moment. The first I have given a few times, the remaining two are still in beta. Latency sensitive Micro-services What can Trading System and Micro-services learn from each other? What strategies do they have in common? http://www.slideshare.net/PeterLawrey/low-latency-microservices-in-java-qcon-new-york-2016 Modelling interactions between microservices. Describing interactions between micro-services in code, as readable messages and graphically. (Beginner to Intermediate) Exceptional Exception Handling There is many different way to handle exception apart from the typical log/ignore and pretend it didn't matter. What are the alternatives and which might you use them. Documentation Driven Development to make contributions easier. How can documentation driven development make it easier to start using and improve adoption rates for your project/product? How does it make it easier to contribute? Why is it so important for Micro...

Distributing Common Java APIs Peter Lawrey Distributing data stores vs Private data stores in Microservices Distributing data containers e.g. Maps, can be a way of avoiding having to think too much about distributing your application. Your business logic is much the same, and it is your data collections which are visible to all your services. Using centralised or even distributed data stores have a number of scalability issues, as it requires every low level data access to be distributed in a generic way which isn’t optimised for particular business requirements. Distributing business components with private data stores is the favoured approach of Microservices and it limits the "surface area" of each service which reduces security issues, performance considerations and gives you more freedom for independant changes to service’s data structures. In this review, I will be focusing on distributed data containers, largely because the interfaces are avai...
