OPEN SESSION (API): Modernizing Monoliths
Thursday November 7, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
API World -- Expo Discovery Stage
Parth Shah, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer
Bianca Tamayo, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer

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).
