Microservice architectures promise to deliver flexibility and scalability to the development and deployment of service-based applications. With these obvious benefits, however, comes the difficulty and operational complexity of managing a distributed system. In this presentation, we will cover why building production services is hard, and how Improbable has tackled the problem through a new project designed to unify services' common functionality in a single base server. We will discuss how developing microservices utilizing a common base server has reduced development time and led to more stable and reliable systems at Improbable, and how you can use the strategy to achieve similar benefits in your own systems.
