Hi Nate, tell us who you are and what lead you into microservices?
I’ve been described as “architect as a service” which pretty much describes my job these days (just don’t say the acronym out loud in a meeting). Having built and architected my fair share of enterprise web apps I’m quite familiar with the drawbacks of the monolith as well as the…challenges inherent in legacy infrastructure. Today every company is a tech company and we can no longer afford lengthy development cycles; smaller codebases, independent deployability, independent scalability, polytglot tech stacks combined with cloud platforms give us a powerful set of tools.
