Controlled Chaos: Managing your Microservice Ecosystem for Business Agility | Tobias Kunze
Learn to manage chaos in your microservice ecosystem and achieve business agility by investing in the control layer, golden signals, and operational patterns, and adopting a mission control mindset.
- Invest in the ability to view golden signals and apply operational patterns.
- Chaos is a new reality in software development, and it’s essential to learn to manage it.
- The environment determines the success of applications and services, not code.
- Code doesn’t matter anymore; what matters is the environment and its control.
- The control layer governs how systems connect, and it’s essential to operate with a mission control mindset.
- Segmentation is crucial in managing chaos, as it allows for the isolation of services and applications.
- Monitoring is essential, but it needs to be done at the right level of granularity and at the right level of the stack.
- The second learning is that monitoring doesn’t buy us anything if it’s not at the right level of granularity and at the right level of the stack.
- Architecture is becoming a runtime activity, and it’s essential to operate with a mission control mindset.
- The key problem is that the agility we want to support gives us an architectural style that we can’t control.
- We need to defer a lot of things that we used to do in code and defer to runtime control.
- Observability as a product is also observability that monitoring provides.
- The environment is what matters, not the local logistics.
- We need to operate with a mission control mindset, like an air traffic controller.
- Architecture and operations are both runtime functions.
- The chaos is controlled when we accept it and operate with a mission control mindset.
- It’s essential to invest in the capability to operate the chaos and control it.
- The golden signals are the determining factors of the success of deployment.
- We need to care about the stability and security of the entire airspace, not individual ground operations.
- The new reality is that the environment takes precedence over code.
- We need to operate with a mission control mindset, and it’s essential to invest in the capability to operate the chaos and control it.
