Jonathan Tower explains how to avoid common mistakes in microservices implementations that lead to building a tightly coupled distributed monolith.

Don’t Build a Distributed Monolith: How to Avoid Doing Microservices Completely Wrong - Jonathan "J." Tower As a consultant, I get to see many systems built by many different developers. Recently, I’ve seen an uptick in the number of systems built with a microservice architecture in mind, but those systems often include a lot of the same mistakes that keep them from working well. In this session you’ll learn from my experiences and get pointers on what to avoid in your microservices implementations so that you don’t accidentally build something which has all the worst aspects of a monolithic application and the worst aspects of microservices These monsters are what I call “distributed monoliths”, and I can help you avoid building one accidentally.

On “Looking for thoughts about an architectural problem”

Yes, that is valid question To answer that to yourself you need a little bit more theory I would suggest start from : link to this video link to this video Serverlessland.com

On “How to start learning microservices in a structured way?”

There’s plenty of good materials posted already for you to get started. That answers the implementation. I’d just like to point out these videos as to when and why you should (not) use microservices.  * Don’t build a distributed monolith  * Why are software engineers quitting microservices  TL;DR microservices often solve organizational challenges, at the cost of increased complexity. So as always “it depends”.
