Explore the integration of rules engines into microservice architectures in this insightful conference talk. Delve into the challenges of distributed systems and learn how to avoid creating a tangled web of dependencies between services. Discover why certain components were never meant to be services and how rules engines can provide the missing dimension in your architecture. Examine real-world examples such as implementing product search and fraud detection using this approach. Gain a wider perspective on enterprise-level system design and understand how services can communicate effectively via events. Uncover the benefits of composing components from services and systems, and learn to think in terms of design patterns for more efficient microservice implementations.
