Bringing some sanity to MicroServices–Beyond the hype

Microservices, “SOA done right”, are the cool kids of the moment. Everyone wants to know them and sit next to them in the classroom. Everytime I see a customer just trying to copy the Netflix architecture or the Facebook architecture, it makes me cringe. Every architecture should be problem space first and technology/architecture second.
