Justin Donohoo, Co-Founder of observian.com, gives us the pros and cons of 4 architectural patterns that he calls: “Microservice / nano pattern”, “Service Pattern”, “Monolithic Pattern” and the “GraphQL Patterns”. Besides these patterns we also learn about common cost traps and how to “architecture around them”. For more information on serverless Justin also shared his recent Serverless Meetup presentation. And stay tuned – there will be more from Justin around secrets, containers and anything else there is to know about cloud native applications.
