Explore the complexities and challenges of building Microservices-based systems in this 33-minute conference talk from Scala Days New York 2016. Delve into the world of distributed systems and learn why simply slicing an existing system into REST services is not enough. Discover a new development approach that simplifies the creation of Microservices on the JVM, from local machine setup to scaled-out production systems. Gain insights into flexible system design, the React manifest, offstage components, developer experience, production considerations, streaming between services, and persistence. Leave with a deeper understanding of how to create intuitive, frictionless, and enjoyable Microservices-based architectures composed of hundreds of services.
