This is one of the most valuable software-engineering-related talks I've ever watched. I'm grateful that we live in a time where companies are open about their org and code architecture/practices. Thank you, Kevin, Spotify, and "go;to" Conference! It would also be interesting to hear from an actual engineer from Spotify (who's in the trenches writing code). "10 services per squad" sounds like a lot of context switching for a single employee. 😅 Some key points from this talk: 9:38 - I loved this illustration of the vertical teams. 11:10 - key slide. 25:10 - another key slide. 26:56 - I didn't fully understand this slide, but it was interesting to see. Seems complex though (for a team of 6 devs). 31:06 - Those were some really good questions from the audience and insightful answers from Kevin!
Was the system page where services are listed using a Dota2 icon?? ;). Ez presentation BTW! I really loved it, because IMO you learn more about something like microservices based on showcases of enterprises you know and use, like Spotify, and yes they are very active with Open Source projects and giving feedback to the world about the technology they use. Great enterprise, great product and all works using microservices.
+BLUE SCRUM Yeah, there a point of view matter. But regarding scaling perspective Scala does a great job.

I wonder if Java won out because a) taught in many Comp Sci degree courses, and therefore widely known/easy to hire for and b) Java handles an entire application platform (Android) covering millions of devices globally, which must bring huge value to its use. Any other language which may not be widely taught/hireable and which doesn't blanket a few million devices would have to be *so* much more powerful - purely as a language - or for their use case - for them to even consider its use... It just seems unlikely for any language to be better overall value than Java in today's world, on that scale...
