The Bus Driver
Brian’s journey with microservices started at Microsoft where he built the messaging system that still powers Skype and Microsoft Teams and is responsible for delivering billions of messages each day. Microbus draws on learnings from that system, further inspired by the teachings of Adrian Cockcroft, the architect who pioneered microservices at Netflix. It was in 2019 when the concept was first put to real use at a startup to break a dead-end monolith into dozens of microservices, unlock innovation, and propel the company to a successful exit. Microbus is the second iteration of that idea, embodying many improvements and lessons learned over the years. It is now open sourced for you to take advantage of in your own organization. What will you build with Microbus?​
