An Agile-Not-Fragile Introduction to Microservices
The microservices architecture provides guidance for decomposing systems into small, loosely coupled, independently deployable and scalable services. Microservices align well with agile development and DevOps practices because they enable new increments of the system to be delivered earlier, more frequently, and even continuously throughout the lifecycle. However, as with all new paradigms, there are pros and cons that must be considered when transitioning onto a new landscape. Join Kaushal Dalvi as he gives you an agile-not-fragile introduction to microservices. You'll learn the foundations of microservices and gain an understanding of related patterns like Event Sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). Through a series of live interactive demos, you'll get hands-on exposure to microservices via an open-source, full-stack, reference architecture that includes automated testing at every level. Whether you are just getting started or have already made the transition, this session will give you the knowledge, tools, and insights you need to be successful on your journey from monolith to microservices.
Since he got his first computer at age thirteen, Kaushal Dalvi has been interested in systems and software performance. He spent days researching performance characteristics of different motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and disks to configure and overclock them in order to squeeze the maximum frames per second out of the games he played. Kaushal built and maintained websites for local businesses, where he started learning about performance and reliability. He developed a taste for it, and now ten years later he continues working in the same field as the director of quality and performance engineering at Ultimate Software, leading teams that deal with workload modeling, test scripting and execution, bottleneck analysis, debugging, and much more.
