Microservices for Tech Leaders

Microservices is one of the latest software architecture styles that promises to deliver benefits such as ease of testing, fast and easy deployments, fine-grained scalability, fault tolerance, and overall agility. It is undeniably one of the latest trends in the software industry, and most companies seem to be jumping on the bandwagon to quickly embrace and adapt this new architecture style. Unfortunately, as many companies are painfully experiencing, microservices is a fairly complex architecture style that is not suited for all applications and environments. In this session I will show you a high-level architectural view of the microservices architecture style so you can gain a high-level understanding about how it works and what challenges exist with this complex architecture style.

Agenda:

• Overview and topology
• The bounded context dilemma
• Service Classification
• API Layer
• Service Domains
