Microservice Dependencies

If you have more than a few microservices, their interdependencies get hard to reason about. I worked for a few years on a project to manage and control microservice dependencies and to make sure it would be possible to turn the company’s tech stack back on if we ever turned it off.

Silvia Esparrachiari, Ashleigh Rentz and I wrote an article about the work, published in ACMQueue and Communications of the ACM.

I also wrote a talk about it called “Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvk4RFGsrWo

Anyone who does a bunch of public speaking will eventually do a talk about public speaking and this is mine.

Coding on Trains

I like to code on long train journeys, usually with my small kid beside me asking what I’m doing. Here’s a game I made her over several train trips.
