Se7en Deadly Deployment Sins
A presentation at Dutch PHP Conference in in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Philipp Krenn
Se7en Deployment Sins Philipp Krenn @xeraa
Infrastructure | Developer !
Gluttony is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of waste.
Memory, Disk, Network
Diet aws-java-sdk-1.8.12.jar 12.9 M aws-java-sdk-1.11.335.jar 3.4 K
people arguing against fat JARs (only ship the business logic), but perfectly ! ne with containers - shipping even the JVM ! #RigaDevDays — https://twitter.com/xeraa/status/864122131768119296
640K ought to be enough for anybody
Microservices Nano, Pico, Femto, Atto, Yocto
Don’t forget - having legacy software is often a sign of success. Your business was successful to last long enough for your software to become legacy. — https://twitter.com/samnewman/status/ 929622273065136130
Yes, it helps if too many people too many dependencies not scalable

We replaced our monolith with micro services so that every outage could be more like a murder mystery. — https://twitter.com/honest_update/status/ 651897353889259520
Here's a diagram of two microservices and their shared database. — https://twitter.com/mathiasverraes/status/ 711168935798902785
OH: "replace your shared monolithic DB with a shared monolithic stream store" — https://twitter.com/ntcoding/status/928902644764200960
...don’t even consider microservices unless you have a system that’s too complex to manage as a monolith. The majority of software systems should be built as a single monolithic application.
Do pay attention to good modularity within that monolith, but don’t try to separate it into separate services. — http://martinfowler.com/bliki/MicroservicePremium.html

If you want to implement microservices, the 1st thing you need to do is implement aggregated logging. The 2nd is implement correlation IDs — https://twitter.com/samnewman/status/ 862255875125366786
Microservices can help large number of people go faster by allowing more autonomy. I remain to be convinced it does the same for small teams — https://twitter.com/samnewman/status/ 778118760226062336

Containerizing legacy applications
Microservices + containers Cargo cult
cargo culting comes from received but not integrated knowledge.because one doesn't grasp how a thing works, one simply goes through the motion of how one was told to do it. — https://twitter.com/GeePawHill/status/ 931941663886454784
If you are only picking Kubernetes because that's the way Google does it, then you should also consider writing your own ! lesystems. — https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/ 741310392756887552
We've been so beaten into thinking we need to care about the speed-of- delivery with containers, we lost focus somewhere on prod reliability — https://twitter.com/danveloper/status/858372256174669824
What's wrong here? For a stateful production service $ docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "http.host=0.0.0.0" -e "transport.host=0.0.0.0" -e "discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=..." docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch

Questions? Confessions? @xeraa
Do you have something to confess? Or are you still in denial — knowing that you're doing something wrong, but you cannot say for sure what it is? In this talk, we'll go through our deployment sins and how to avoid them:
- Gluttony: Adding all the dependencies — both in size and number.
- Greed: Yes, I want to use the biggest and slowest application server possible.
- Sloth: Continuous Deployment or Delivery — who would need that?!
- Lust: Of course I'm using containers, microservices, and every latest trend for every project!
- Pride: Once something is in production it's purely an ops problem.
- Envy: Why should I rely on an external library, when I can lovingly handcraft it all myself?
- Wrath: Logging and monitoring are for the faint of heart!
