Microservices: the small print

Microservices get a lot of sales talk, which leads many teams to adopt them eagerly. However, people are not always aware that they come at a price.

In this talk we'll compare two implementations for some features over a web application backend: one over a traditional Django app, and another one over a simple microservices architecture. We'll learn the basics about microservices with some real-life scenarios, and see the implications the microservices approach has over the development experience and the overall resulting system.
