In our first iterations of developing Conjur, we didn’t know yet what the product would be, so we built a bunch of different microservices that were loosely connected, and sometimes we just abandoned ones that didn’t work out. While this optimized us in certain aspects such as flexibility and testability, we were not optimized for hiring and ramping up new team members, performance and transactionality. In this talk we will talk about the process of consolidating some of our micro services: a deeper dive into the issues we had with our old architecture, what exactly we did do to solve them and the fabulous outcome of this process that includes a x100 performance improvement.
