Using Graph Theory and Network Science to Explore your Microservices Architecture

GOTO Berlin 2019

So your microservice system has been up and running for a while. You know you’ve diligently employed every ounce of your experience and knowledge over time to design a sensible application architecture, with hopefully sensible boundaries.

But time is now throwing new questions your way:
Are my boundaries still sensible?
Have any anti-patterns crept in, have I inadvertently created the dreaded distributed monolith?

This talk explores how network science and graph theory techniques can be applied to help gain insight into, and explore questions about your microservices architecture.
