Darren Broemmer joins the Rogues to discuss how Ruby on Rails enables a microservices architecture and when it's appropriate to approach your system's architecture with microservices. Chuck and Dave lend their experience and expertise in pointing out some of the challenges with microservices and the power of Rails in enabling the Majestic Monolith. Tradeoffs are discussed and approaches are considered for when parts of an application may make a good candidate for microservices.LinksTwitter: Darren Broemmer ( @DarrenBroemmer )GitHub: Darren Broemmer ( dbroemme )PicksCharles- ClickUp | One app to replace them allCharles- Dev Influencers | Devchat.tvDarren- Paas Platform as a Service | Pass Solution - EngineYardDarren- AppLandDave- Pactool Gecko GaugeDave- drifting COBOLBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ruby-rogues--6102073/support.
Full Episode
Hey, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Ruby Rogues podcast. This week on our panel, we have Dave Kimura. Hey, everyone. I'm Charles Maxwood from devchat.tv. Dave, it's nice to do a podcast with you again. It's been a while, hasn't it? I know. I keep winding up, showing up when you can't make it, and then you show up when I can't make it. Yeah.
Of course, now we both show up, and Luke and John can't make it, so... One of these days. We also have a special guest, and that's Darren Bromer. Did I say that right, Darren?
Yeah, Darren Bramer, yep. Bramer, ah. And O-E, it's a German, German A sound. Ah, nice.
So do you want to introduce yourself, let people know who you are, why you're important and famous and all that cool stuff?
absolutely yeah well first of all thanks a lot for having me on here it's great to talk with you guys so i've been engineer engineer my whole life i will admit that i discovered ruby a little bit later in my career i was a java guy for quite a while and going all the way back to 2002 i'm going to date myself here i wrote a book on java j2ee actually so there you go that there's a dated uh bit of technology a little bit
And so I've done all types of engineering-managed teams. I decided I wanted to go back, get hands-on keyboard after doing that. Went to Amazon Web Services. Had a great time working there. Learned a whole lot. Had a lot of fun. Met a lot of great people. And then wanted to get more into kind of combine the two things I really, really enjoy. So the technology, obviously, but also communications.
And so now I kind of went and switched gears. I'm now the developer evangelist for... Engine Yard and we have platform as a service tools, but I get to do my two favorite things, which are play with technology and share that with people, write about it and talk about it.
Awesome. And yeah, we ran across this article from you talking about architecture and microservices and stuff, which is funny because I think on JavaScript Jabber, we did an episode on micro front ends about three weeks ago. We recorded it anyway. We're a little more ahead on that, so it's probably going to come out in a few weeks.
But it's just interesting because people are talking about this and how to break up application logic and stuff like that. And of course, in Rails, we all talk about the beautiful monolith and you know, how that all kind of comes together to put it all in one app. And so yeah, I'm kind of interested because I don't know that I necessarily got the breakdown on where you come down on this.
