I'm going to be talking about something very basic, which is almost like the fundamental ideas that I think that every developer should know if they're unfortunate enough to have to work on a distributed system, which is probably most of you. The reason I've written this talk is because I'm working on a book, which is designed as like, you've been dropped onto a project where somebody ill-advisedly made the choice to use microservices, which is always a terrible idea.
When something breaks, the impact isn't always obvious right away. What starts as a few 500 errors in one service can quickly snowball into failed transactions, frustrated users, and revenue loss.
Integrating FinOps early in microservices architectures leads to significant reductions in both cloud costs and operational inefficiencies, creating a more cost-effective environment for organizations.
A standardized CI/CD pipeline for microservices should address key challenges such as coordinating cross-service releases, managing backward compatibility, and preventing configuration duplication.
