3. The Hype
Feb 26, 2… Sep 1, 2013 Mar 8, 2016 Sep 11, 2016
Interest over time
68% of organizations are using or
investigating microservices.

Businesses using microservices report
a 75% drop in development lead times.

4. The Motivation

5. Being Competitive
Requires
Rapid delivery
Leveraging public cloud
Simple, rapid scaling

6. Traditional
monoliths fail
Changes are coupled
Not designed for
public cloud
Scaling is complex

7. The Definition
An engineering approach focused on
decomposing an application into
single-function modules with well-
defined interfaces which are
independently deployed and
operated by a small team who owns
the entire lifecycle of the service.

8. Microservices are
about people
Microservices accelerate delivery by
minimizing communication and
coordination between people while
reducing the scope and risk of
change.

27. What is a ‘Service Mesh’ ?
• A network for services, not bytes
• Visibility
• Resiliency & Efficiency
• Traffic Control
• Security
• Policy Enforcement

29. Intelligent Routing and Load Balancing
Control traffic between services with dynamic
route configuration, conduct A/B tests, release
canaries, and gradually upgrade versions using
red/black deployments.

30. Resilience Across Languages and Platforms
Increase reliability by shielding
applications from flaky networks and
cascading failures in adverse conditions.

31. Fleet Wide Policy Enforcement
Apply organizational policy to
the interaction between services,
ensure access policies are
enforced and resources are fairly
distributed among consumers.

32. In-Depth Telemetry and Reporting
Understand the dependencies
between services, the nature and flow
of traffic between them and quickly
identify issues with distributed
tracing.
