Coil Goes Multiplatform with Colin White

Dive into the intricate world of microservices with the latest episode of Talking Kotlin, hosted by Sebastian and Hadi . In this engaging conversation, the hosts are joined by Ivan and David, the masterminds behind HTTP4K, to discuss the nuances of simplicity in software development and the often-misunderstood landscape of microservices.

The episode kicks off with a discussion about the deceptive allure of complexity in building software. Ivan and David share insights into their roles as consultants, shedding light on the misconception that complexity is synonymous with efficiency. They challenge the industry norm and question whether microservices have become overly complex without a clear reason.

As the discussion progresses, the hosts inquire about the scalability and applicability of HTTP4K. Ivan and David emphasize the simplicity of HTTP4K and its efficacy, providing valuable insights into its application in various scenarios. They discuss the importance of understanding application growth and the potential challenges that may arise, such as the need for databases, queues, and caches.

At the end, the conversation steers towards structuring applications and the patterns recommended by Ivan and David. They address the significance of mono repos and multi-service testing, highlighting the need for understanding how to construct larger applications. 

Join the hosts and guests in this thought-provoking episode as they demystify the complexities of microservices and celebrate the elegance of simplicity in software development. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just stepping into the world of microservices, this episode provides valuable insights and a fresh perspective on building robust and scalable software.
