Abstract

Microservices Architecture encompasses more than the decomposition of applications. If the organization and cultural impact is not addressed initially, and continually, the output of a Microservices architecture will never match the desired goal. In this paper, we walk through the key concepts of Conway’s Law, Bezo’s Rule, and other foundational principles of culture and structure. Addressed are key factors in an effective Microservices culture including group size, motivation, relationships and how they impact the development and goals of Microservices.
