Moving to Microservices at SoundCloud with Lukasz Plotnicki

Listen Later

“You can have a monolith, and it can be a perfectly good thing.”

Monoliths versus microservices – the architectural debate continues across the internet. SoundCloud is a popular music company that experienced the rapid development benefits of a monolith, as well as the long-term technical debt. That technical debt has since been relieved by a move towards microservices. In this episode of Software Engineering Daily, Lukasz joins Jeff to talk about the realities of moving from a monolith to a microservices architecture, and walks through the lessons learned at SoundCloud.

Lukasz Plotnicki is a consultant and software engineer at ThoughtWorks, which helps clients address their software development challenges and needs.
