A microservices services architecture has become a standard way to approach the modular design of large scale systems. But while there are some traits that most practitioners can agree on, such as independent deployment, choice in implementation details, polyglot persistence, and benefits such as isolation, better parallelization, and improved scalability, there are still vast differences between the diverse approaches taken in practice. In this talk, we will categorize different ways to approach the architectural style, and highlight differences, benefits, and downsides of various interpretations found in projects.
