💡 Rethinking #Microservices? Listen to the #InfoQ #podcast with Sam Newman for key lessons:
🔹 Use Microservices as a last resort, as distributed systems bring serious complexity
🔹 Architecture is a Continuous Journey, not a fixed destination
🔹 Focus on the Outcome
🔹 Build in Observability from day one to enable better decision-making
🔹 Microservices are not binary, but a gradient. It's OK to have microservices for part of your systems, while the rest remain monoliths
Over the past few years, #Pinterest has been embracing #DocsAsCode across the organization.
The outcome?
✅ Improved documentation quality
✅ Higher team satisfaction
✅ A transformed culture of collaboration, quality control, and discoverability
