Understanding Microservices: A Guide For the Monolithic Developer

on YouTube ↗01h 14m

" summary

Guides a monolithic team through an incremental path from a modular monolith to microservices using a real Tacky Tacos demo built on ASP.NET 6, Docker and YARP, showing runnable examples with RabbitMQ pub/sub and Eureka via Steeltoe. Recommends starting with large modules (the Kit Kat pattern), insists on DB per service for deployability, contrasts synchronous front-end APIs with asynchronous back-end events, and shows the demos working end to end while warning about eventual consistency, telemetry and added operational complexity.
