In this interview NGINX's Chris Stetson describes some of the biggest pain points associated with microservices development and describes the various patterns and models - including the Circuit Breaker Pattern - covered in his new book, "Microservices Reference Architecture."  Chris also talks about the fundamental differences between microservices and SOA and how NGINX has extended the 12-Factor App to encompass microservices.  

Chris Stetson, Chief Architect of Microservices Engineering at NGINX, has architected applications for twenty years, including the first versions of Sirius Satellite Radio, Visa.com, Intel.com, Microsoft.com, and Lexus.com. He has built large monolithic systems, service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications, and most recently microservice-based systems. Most recently, Chris has authored The Microservices Reference Architecture eBook, a practical guide that helps solve many of the challenges of building microservices-based applications.
