DjangoCon Europe 2016 - Django Microservices Made Easy

Speaker: Paul Hallett (twitter) works for Lyst.

Microservices?

Where monolithic applications are a Death Star that manages everything, but if it breaks, everything is broken, microservices are like a fleet of X-Wing Fighters: they are a fleet of small, independant, highly specialized vehicles

Problems and Solutions

• Shared Databases: Don't. Isolate and decouple your dependencies.
• Inconsistent Project Structures: write project templates for unified deployment/testing/error logging approaches (cookiecutter)
• Inconsistent HTTP Interfaces: Include Clients and Client Guidelines
• Consistent Deployment: Use Empire, a heroku-like interface for deployment
