This episode is a panel discussion from the microservices track QCon Plus, held in May 2021. Track host Nicki Watt asks "What have we learned over the last decade of microservices." The panelists included Chris Richardson, James Lewis, and Katie Gamanji. The discussion started with looking at how the meaning of "microservices architecture" has evolved over the past ten years. There were some great insights about how successfully developing, deploying, and maintaining software depends as much or more on cultural and environmental factors, than simply adopting microservices and all the tools and technology that now exist.

Transcript

What Have We Learned Over the Last Decade of Microservices?

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Alex Qin following on from her QCon London talk “Shaving My Head Made Me A Better Programmer”.

Why listen to this podcast:

- Casual discrimination and unconscious bias is rife in society, and very prevalent in tech
 - The need to have many more people in the field who don’t fit the preconceived mould of a programmer
 - The complexity of the overall system means we need to tackle discrimination at many levels in many different aspects
 - One person can make a difference
 - Call things out when you see things that are wrong – speak up, show up and shield those who can’t shield themselves

Show Notes

Alex Qin on Leveraging Technology to Create Positive Social Change

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Adolph about the role of the product owner, the rock crusher for user stories and bridging the gap between “the business” and IT
Tags: Agile, Agile 2019, Agile conferences, product management, product ownership, business agility, user stories, MVP, MMF

Why listen to this podcast:

•	The role of the product owner often hides the complexity of product management and upstream activities designed to ensure we build the right product 
•	A product backlog should not be like a stack of plates – every item the same size – rather it is like a rock crusher where large items are further away and as they get closer they are broken down into more granular pieces 
•	A good minimum viable product is an experiment designed to answer a specific set of questions about the value and utility of some aspect of a product 
•	Minimum marketable feature set is what is the minimum set of features that we can put out there that people will actually buy and use
•	The artificial divide between IT and business in many organizations is an inhibitor to generating real value
