Our journey to microservices
Recently our development team attempted migrating our software architecture to microservices architecture. Despite being the most popular pattern mentioned everywhere, our journey came to the end with a surprising result, that was the team eventually decided to cancel the migration. After one developer from our team wrote a post to share our experience, I also want to share some of my personal opinions about microservices, a term, architecture, or pattern that was so controversial in the team in the last couple months.
Engaging microservices
The first time the term attracted me was when I saw a post about doing microservices on top of Azure Service Fabric. I absolutely loved the idea of splitting a monolith service into several stateless and stateful services, each of which could be deployed and maintained separately. Shortly after Azure had its Kubernetes and docker hub, I was also amazed how easy it was to build a containerized ASP.Net Core application and deploy it as a microservice. So I imagined that one day, at work, I could have a chance to practically bring the benefits provided by microservices to the business and stakeholders.
Turns out I might be dreaming?
Though I have had a good dream, I still live in reality. I soon realized that not every development team needs microservices, at least here in Christchurch. Doing microservices certainly has its benefits, but it also has some major side affects that will certainly affect team's productivity. Unlike doing a microservice example, a real world microservices environment requires a decent platform where general concerns have all been resolved prior to building any service.
A typical example of those concerns is communication. Doing method calls in local memory is way faster than calling a remote service over network, so how your team could balance between the incurred overhead costs and the benefits will become a must-answer question before you start doing any services that might depend on others.
Creating and maintaining a microservice environment is also a nightmare to small teams. Splitting a monolith is also like splitting a single point of failure to multiple, but in bad. It certainly made your system more reliable, but you are going to need resources allocated from your team to keep eyes on all services that might fail at anytime. So have said that, you either need to invest a decent monitoring system, or hire more people.
So no microservices is better?
Microservices certainly has its benefits, but you might want to apply it accordingly.
For example, if you always want to leverage different technology stacks, or your system has a fairly long history which leads your system to have some very legacy services, you could turn services in your system into microservices, and in total, you will have a SOA architecture. You could then continue apply patterns to retire and replace your legacy systems with new systems built using latest technologies.
Another example would be if you have multiple teams doing components for well isolated bounded contexts, then you could consider doing microservices. So each team could be in charge of one or multiple bounded contexts, avoiding teams affecting teams. And artifacts from each team could be deployed and maintained separately.
However, if you have no dedicated feature teams, or your team is too small to afford the overhead costs. Doing microservices is way over complicated and like killing an ant with a 400 tons of hammer. In the meantime, if you do microservices for componentizing your system, you might be seeking something else, probably like interface isolation rather than microservices.Review by Elyssa Pollio Rating: 8/10 This review was brought to you by… Beverly Tender is a band I have been following since their release of their first EP “Lord Mayor Makes 1,000 Speeches”...

The Key West city commission will be making some tough — and potentially costly — decisions in the coming weeks.
First up is the city commission meeting on Sept. 1, when officials will discuss the upcoming special events calendar in light of the alarming COVID uptick. Mayor Teri Johnston urged event organizers to come to the meeting armed with recommendations to keep their events as safe as possible.
City Manager Patti McLauchlin held a Zoom call on Aug. 25 with about 20 event organizers — from Fantasy Fest and boat races, to the Zombie Bike Ride and Key West Brewfest.
McLauchlin asked each organizer about their plans to keep people masked, socially distant and otherwise protected as much as possible.
Most event representatives, including Nadene Grossman Orr, Fantasy Fest producer, pledged to include masking messaging in all promotional materials. Others said they can spread out seating arrangements and provide hand sanitizer.
Grossman Orr also told the group that some Fantasy Fest events have already been scaled back due to people’s concerns. She said there are currently only 12 float applications for the Fantasy Fest parade, which typically has at least 50 floats.
In answer to a question about whether the commission will make a final decision on Sept. 1, as the topic is listed as a discussion item on the agenda, McLauchlin said the decision may not come down to a vote.
“The commission may just discuss it, listen to you and make a decision at the following meeting, or they could give direction to me about what to do, so I do urge you to attend and to sign up to speak,” McLauchlin said.
The commission just received the results of a compensation study conducted by Evergreen Solutions consultants.
If the recommendations are fully implemented for the 508 positions evaluated, the new pay plan will cost the city an additional $2.8 million, and would involve an average annual increase of $5,417 per employee.
City salaries have long lagged behind those of Monroe County and local utilities, often making it difficult for Key West to find and keep qualified workers. City officials soon will consider whether to implement the new pay plan in one fell swoop, or spread out the increases over time. Finance Director Mark Finigan in budget meetings has cautioned against spreading it out for too long, as the costs of living and housing will continue to rise each year, thus contributing to a continuing disparity.
Stay tuned to keysweekly.com as we take a closer look at the compensation study and its recommendations.

On May 3, 2010, a Russian aircraft bringing supplies to Kalagush, a military base that had been the target of several attacks, dropped suddenly to the ground as a result of mechanical failures. Doty, who worked at the base, leaped into action after observing the crash on a monitor at the base's joint operations command center.
At a recent awards ceremony at Fort Meade, the 30-year-old Odenton resident called the events of nearly four ago "surreal."
"There wasn't a lot of time to think in the chaos," he said. "But I've been raised with this 24/7 mentality to help people in need."
At the time of the incident, Doty, who grew up in New Jersey, was part of a provincial reconstruction team, a group from various military branches charged with bringing relief to unstable territories. Though his typical role was to serve as a combat photographer, on that day he found himself rescuing three injured passengers from the helicopter and attempting to disable the main rotor, which continued to spin even after the crash.
What he didn't know at the time was that the helicopter was loaded with 2,000 pounds of highly explosive mortar shells, which were brought in to protect the base. Had a single one exploded, the entire rescue team could have been killed.
"I just reacted," he said. "I didn't think about the severity of it. It didn't really hit me then that I could have died."
Doty, now a staff sergeant, was honored Feb. 21 with the Soldier's Medal, an award recognizing any member of the armed forces — with either the United States or a friendly foreign nation — who acts heroically in an event not involving conflict with an enemy.
One of the presenters was Capt. Raymond Benedict, who was the commander of Doty's provincial reconstruction team and who witnessed the events following the crash unfold.
"Sergeant Doty did not hesitate for a second," Benedict said. "He led the rescue effort. This award is three-and-a-half years late."
Doty's then-girlfriend, Thalia — now his wife — was an airman in the team at the time, working about 50 yards away from the scene. She was among those evacuated after the crash.
"We heard it hit the ground," she said. "I saw him,
