In today's micro services world, it is far too common for an API service to explode at an unbounded rate. The journey starts off as a shiny new micro service, which was designed to contain APIs for 1 business entity, becoming so heavily utilized that over time, it evolves and turns into a massive monolith, which contains hundreds of APIs for dozens of business entities. In the early days, new features could be introduced and rolled out within a few hours. Now, a small database schema change takes a few days or weeks to roll out. In this madness, how do you effectively and efficiently decompose and modernize your monolith? This session goes over a real world case study of how a group of 5 engineers decomposed a 160+ API monolith into smaller and focused micro services with 0 outages, 0 downtime, increase in overall service availability from 99.9% to 99.999%, decrease in latencies from 15% to 95% and ability to handle 90x more traffic with a reduced resource footprint (68% reduction in compute and 55% reduction in memory).
