Julian Applebaum stopped by to discuss the challenges of moving Squarespace's Java monolith to a service-oriented architecture. Julian describes drawing boundaries between different layers of business logic and discovering fundamental tensions in restructuring application logic throughout the migration. Squarespace's journey to a series of RESTful API endpoints was a matter of building services and integrating them slowly as they became reliable. This move was inevitable for Squarespace's team of about 100 engineers.

Really cool approach about how to move from monolith to microservices. :D
Awesome content, also many thanks for the subtitles (German listener).
Nice video to understand the usages of microservices and what advantages they offer.
I was a little surprised a monolith ever worked at the scale of squarespace for the past few years. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the subtitles. They help non-native English speakers so much :)

I'm getting the same Media error as many others:
Error loading media: File could not be played.
I'm on chrome. Looking at the error console It's trying to load what looks like the movie file and then getting a 403.
Would love to be able to watch this!
