"I've just joined a company and the architects love microservices but the developers love Big Data solutions. Do they mix? Can you point me in the direction of where I can read more about marrying the two together?" - Big Data Engineer working for a UK financial startup.
Microservice architectures are a tool to solve a specific problems an organisation might have. If you have problems that can be solved by using microservice architectures, generate 2-3 options and if the microservice route looks most promising, go for it.
Our general recommendation would be to focus on the problems you have to solve and the constraints you are working with, generate a few options and possible solutions and choose the one that seems most promising.
There will be certain scenarios where BigData and microservices will work well together, and others where they will not make sense. We would have to know more details to be of further help, please email contact us to schedule a call to discuss your specific requirements.
We recommend reading Sequoia's Guide to Microservices and Martin Fowler's blog on microservices as a good starting point to problems microservice architectures help solving.
