Distributed and massively scalable systems are difficult to design, implement, and operate. Further, microservice architectures are supposed to enable your business to be disruptive and innovative. Thankfully, two communities have emerged to facilitate easier solutions for these concerns and do a lot of the work for you: Spring Cloud OSS and Cloud Foundry. In this talk, we will take a deeper look at preventing cascading failures using Hystrix, as well as illustrate a mechanism for A/B testing using Eureka and blue-green deployments on Cloud Foundry.
