Using Domain-Driven Design When Creating Microservices
Microservices and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) are not only about Bounded contexts, although a fundamental tool for defining granularity of microservices there are other important concepts as well. Correspondingly DDD is just not about entities and repositories, Michael Plöd claimed in his presentation at the recent microXchg conference in Berlin showing how DDD can be used creating microservices.

“It’s Not Just Microservices”: Fred George Discusses Technology, Process and Organisation Inhibitors
At the microXchg 2016 conference, Fred George presented “It’s Not Just Microservices”, and argued that microservices can enable an organisation to ‘go faster’ and rapidly deliver business value. However, the implementation of microservices alone will not lead to success, and inhibitors to increasing business agility within the context of technology, process and the organisation must be removed.

Java EE and Microservices in 2016?
At the end of 2015 Steve Millidge from C2B2 and a co-founder of Payara predicted that 2016 would be the year of Java EE microservices. Many efforts would tend to agree, including WildFly, TomEE and the KumuluzEE framework. However, other developers believe that there are fundamental problems with Java EE which make it a poor choice for microservices.

Adrian Cockcroft on Analyzing Response Time Distributions for Microservices
At the microXchg conference, held in Berlin, Adrian Cockcroft presented “Analyzing Response Time Distributions for Microservices”. Cockcroft demonstrated how the combination of his Spigo microservice architecture simulation tool and the online Guesstimate Monte Carlo method tool can be used to visualise and experimentally simulate request response times within a complicated microservice system.

"Wait, What!? Our Microservices Have Actual Human Users?" The Importance of UI Architecture
At the microXchg conference, Stefan Tilkov presented “Wait, what? Our microservices have actual human users?”. Tilkov proposed that current microservice discussions tend to be centered around backend topics. The presentation argued that it is of paramount importance to increase focus on how to structure what is arguably the most important part of a microservice application - the UI.

Defining, Reviewing and Implementing Service APIs with “goa”, a Go-based Microservice Framework
Raphael Simon, senior systems architect at RightScale, has created “goa”, a Go-based HTTP microservice framework that allows the definition of a service API via a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and the automated code generation of the corresponding “boilerplate” server and client code. InfoQ sat down with Simon and asked questions about the goa microservice framework.
