JFokus 2015 - Hacking the-monolith
The document discusses SVT's transition to a microservice architecture, highlighting its benefits such as team autonomy, scalability, and improved resilience. It outlines the requirements for automated deployments, monitoring, and resilience practices implemented at SVT, including the use of tools like Jenkins and Hystrix. Additionally, it sets guidelines for API development and emphasizes the importance of maintaining flexibility over standardization in technology choices.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Glad to be here development manager, lead architect In the process of moving to micro architecture experiences from that yourney
- #3 If you have to leave early, this is the key takeaway make it easy to start - to create and deploy new services
- #5 fast growth less people use broadcast - more watch on-demand The choices we made 2010 is not valid now
- #6 You have all been here Lot of dependencies Hard to find errors Vague ownership Heavy deploy
- #7 [TA BORT?]
- #9 teams have a lot of freedom choosing language and platform high mandate and responsibility Eat your own dogshit everyone should understand the objectives Design Studio
- #10 Sam Newman compares the architect role with a city planner
- #11 choices before moving forward
- #12 removed versus There is no contradiction
- #14 So why change the architecture to micro services. These are our four main reasons. Micro services are built by Single Responsibility Principle. It easy to make a team owns a micro service as a whole. All micro services should run it its own process. Therefore easier to scale and deploy. Micro services forces the developer to think about resilience and monitoring. 4. Micro services gives more opportunities to try out new frameworks and test ideas. We think a happy developer creates better code and services.
- #15 In order to scale up and deliver working software, we needed the teams to take responsibility for their services as a whole. Know the domain, taking technical decisions, handling deploy and maintenance. As an architect, my role is to make it easy for the team to take this responsibility. What LinkedIn calls ”Create greater ownership". Lowering the bar to make the “right thing” by creating tools and good examples. We tries to get as as close as possible to the extreme "no central rules”.
- #16 Last fall we started a project to create a platform and deploy pipeline to make it easy to create new services. These where our goals… Lowering the bar to create a new service instead of extend an existing service with functions that does not belong there. That is the way to create a badly designed monolith.
- #17 Our solution where to use Jenkins to deploy to Heroku or to an internal environment called “Molnet” Primary we uses Heroku, but for performance och legal reasons we uses “Molnet”
- #18 “Molnet” got a similar DSL as Heroku, all to make it easier for the developers to use them.
- #19 For automated deploys you need 3 things: Orchestration - Deploy a service to the environment Configuration - Handle configurations through different environments. Service Discovery - Keep track of where a specific service is running (ip and port).
- #20 The connection between helios and consul is a SVT written plugin. Open sourced at.
- #21 These are not really new requirements, but we think they need extra attendance. 10 or a 100 services need to be build and deployed when needed. Solved by Heroku and “Molnet” You have to be able to see how the system behaves, as a whole and as individual parts. Logging, key-value pairs via stdout -> an indexing service like elastic search Metrics (cpu, threads, response times). NewRelic and Graphite. The system should be able to work even if one part of the system responds slowly or is down. No domino effects.
- #22 Hystrix a library from Netflix We uses the following to create resilience. Databases and other services. Default values, caching or other fallback solutions.
- #23 This produces metrics to create dashboards like these… NewRelic, Jenkins, Hystrix and collectd
- #24 How do we keep track of all services? All projects must include a description file (svtservice.yml). We scan our repositories and creates a list of all the services we have. Includes description, product owner and responsible team.
- #25 The yml-files also contains dependencies, which makes it possible to create graphs like these.
- #26 And we do have some central rules. But we try to not tie up the teams. To build a micro service API at SVT, you need to stick to these rules. Part from them the team could do what ever they like.
- #27 Make it easy to do the right things Let the team do the rest.
