Rapid Microservice Development with Project Templates

What if you could build a production-ready microservice in minutes, not days? This talk shows you how to template away the 80% of boilerplate slowing your team down.

Rapid Microservice Development with Project Templates
#1about 3 minutes

Overview of a modern microservice architecture

A high-level look at a typical software architecture using microservices for backend tasks and interacting with external services.

#2about 3 minutes

Separating core functionality from boilerplate code

Microservices consist of unique business logic and common boilerplate elements like CI/CD, deployment, and monitoring, which can be abstracted into a template.

#3about 5 minutes

Creating a new microservice from a template

A live demonstration shows how to use the `craft` command-line tool and a questionnaire to rapidly generate a new microservice project.

#4about 2 minutes

Reviewing the generated project and CI/CD pipeline

An exploration of the pre-configured project structure, including semantic versioning, Helm charts, and a full CI/CD pipeline for linting, building, and testing.

#5about 2 minutes

The challenge of keeping microservices up to date

As the base template evolves with new best practices, a mechanism is needed to propagate these updates to existing microservices without overwriting custom logic.

#6about 3 minutes

Applying template updates to an existing service

A demonstration of the `craft update` command, which merges changes from the latest template version into an existing microservice project.

#7about 4 minutes

Key benefits of using project templates

Project templates reduce repetitive work, serve as living documentation for best practices, and centralize infrastructure improvements while allowing services to remain decoupled.
