What are, or aren't, microservices? There's a lot of hype and buzz, but microservices emerged organically vs how some of the other distributed architectural styles were "handed down to us", so I believe there's some good things once you cut through the hype. In this talk I discussed what are and are NOT microservices, introduced some concepts, and discussed some concrete open-source libraries and frameworks that can help you develop and manage microservice style deployments.
