Bringing Order to Microservices

The exponential growth of microservices has led to a complex ecosystem that requires effective platform engineering and management strategies. As more teams adopt self-serve platforms, the needs for varying workflows in continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD) and deployment increase. Managing microservices can be challenging due to their interdependency, latency issues, and potential misconfigurations. To create a successful approach, it is crucial to focus on scalability, maintainability, log aggregation, monitoring strategy, and effective alert management. Feature flags can help engineering teams control growing microservices by isolating issues when needed.
