Workshop: MicroServices ‐ Let’s Build Some
Location:
- St James, 4th flr.
When:
- Friday
Key takeaways
1) Understanding how to design asynchronous service architectures
2) Creating small, yet functional, services rather than larger services,
3) Reducing coupling to the bare minimum (JSON packets with extra fields ignored)
4) Debugging asynchronous systems
Prerequisites
Running RabbitMQ instances under Docker provided by the instructor
While “microservices” is becoming a heavily overworked term, it has been interpreted many ways. In this hands-on workshop we will explore a particular style, tiny asynchronous services, that was the core of one of the most successful implementations. Given an animated specification of flow, we will embark on delivering the proposed services, wrestling with the issues common to this new paradigm. Participants have a choice of languages, with new starting code in Java, C#, and Ruby. At the end of the workshop, we will discuss MicroServices challenges and organizations that are optimized for such architectures.
Outline/structure of the session
- Introduction to MicroServices
- Sample asynchronous MicroService application
- Installation of sample MicroServices for the exercise
- a. Installing RabbitMQ drivers for your language
- b. Testing access to RabbitMQ server 4. Implementing a new MicroService
- Discussion of effort
- Implementing a second MicroService
- Discussion and review of code
- Implementing the application (teams develop different services that will work together)
- Wrap up observations by participants
