Firms exist when the transaction cost of doing something within the firm, even with all its overhead, is lower than than cos t o f do ing th ings through a marketplace of free agents.

Page 16: The Economics of Microservices  (2017 CraftConf)

“[this works well until] the costs of organising an extra transaction within the firm become equal to the costs of carrying out the same transaction by means of an exchange on the open market or the costs of organising another firm"

making the "wrong" thing harder is ok in

the beginning

Page 22: The Economics of Microservices  (2017 CraftConf)

making the "right" thing easier is what

takes you to excellence

"For example, McDonald's can produce both hamburgers and French fries at a lower average expense than what it would cost two separate firms to produce each of the goods separately. This is because McDonald's hamburgers and French fries are able to share the use of food storage, preparation facilities and so forth during production."

monoliths benefit from economies of scope

Page 30: The Economics of Microservices  (2017 CraftConf)

microservices benefit from economies of scale

Page 31: The Economics of Microservices  (2017 CraftConf)

these questions before starting?

Page 32: The Economics of Microservices  (2017 CraftConf)

nope.

remember, you have a business to build.
