The Seven Deadly Sins of Microservices

Tareq Abedrabbo of OpenCredo delivered this talk at The London PaaS User Group (LOPUG) November 2014. Here are the immortal sins (the accompanying pictures on the slides are worthy viewing here, although there's no further expansion on this text):

1. The Enterprise-OSGI-Application-Service-Bus
   
   Building the wrong thing

2. Porcine Cosmetics
   
   Failing to adopt a contract-first design approach

3. Message in a Bottle
   
   Assuming the wrong communication protocol

4. The Single Domain of Failure
   
   Introducing a shared domain model

5. The Distributed Monolith
   
   Defining inappropriate service boundaries

6. The Horseless Cart
   
   Neglecting DevOps and Testing Concerns

7. The Sausage Factory
   
   Disregarding the Human Factor
