Sam Newman, Martin Fowler·2020·GOTONewman and Fowler talk through the cases where microservices earn their keep — and the much larger set where they don't.
Sasa Juric·2019·GOTOSasa Juric on what actually makes the BEAM special — isolated processes, message passing, supervision — and how those primitives produce systems that stay up while the world burns around them.
Kyle Kingsbury·2018·GOTOKingsbury takes a flamethrower to databases that promise more than they deliver, and shows how Jepsen catches them lying about consistency.
Tyler Treat·2018·GOTOWhat you learn when you implement a Kafka-style log yourself: replication, leader election, fsync semantics, and the limits of 'just use a queue.'
Bryan Cantrill·2017·GOTOCantrill on the discipline of debugging production systems in real time — staying analytical when the pager is screaming and the business is bleeding.
Martin Kleppmann·2016·GOTOA tour of the algorithms that let independent replicas converge without a coordinator — and why CRDTs are the cleanest answer we have.
Adrian Cockcroft·2014·GOTOCockcroft on how Netflix actually moved off the datacenter — and why microservices are a tool for shipping faster, not for being fashionable.
Greg Young·2014·GOTOYoung walks through the idea that mutating state is a lossy compression of history — and what you get back when you stop throwing the events away.
