Java Champion Peter Lawrey spoke to JAXenter editor Gabriela Motroc at JAX 2016 about when developers should use microservices and when they should choose a monolithic architecture. One of the key learnings from this interview is the following: “If you say ‘everyone has to use microservices’, you may end up using it even when it doesn’t make sense.”

Peter Lawrey has the most Java answers on Stack Overflow, he is the founder of the Performance Java User’s Group with over 1 000 members, and the lead developer of OpenHFT, open source software used by Investment Banks, trading houses, and hedge funds.
