There has been lots of buzz around Microservices over the last year, but there has often been a lack of clarity as to what Microservices are, or how to implement them well. I've been working to distill down the principles of Microservices to help ensure that we don't just end up repeating the mistakes we made during the last 20 years of service oriented architecture.

More customers/transactions
Self-service for customers

Flexible operational processes
New products and operational
processes
Reduce inertia
Make choices that favour rapid
feedback and change, with reduced
dependencies across teams.
Eliminate accidental
complexity
Aggressively retire and replace
unnecessarily complex processes,
systems, and integrations so that we
can focus on the essential
complexity.
Consistent interfaces
and data flows
Eliminate duplication of data and
create clear systems of record, with
consistent integration interfaces.
No silver bullets
Off the shelf solutions deliver early
value but create inertia and
accidental complexity.
Standard REST/HTTP
Encapsulate legacy
Eliminate integration
databases
Consolidate and
cleanse data
Published integration
