Scaling Microservices with Message Queues, Spring Boot and Kubernetes

Featuring Daniele Polencic

You used the Spring framework to create web-services in the blink of an eye. And you know how great it’s to build small services that compose into a larger system. And it works great — until you have to run it in production.

With so many dependencies, how do you deploy applications in the right...

Keynote: Not Just Events: Developing Asynchronous Microservices

Featuring Chris Richardson

The microservice architecture functionally decomposes an application into a set of services. Each service has its own private database that’s only accessible indirectly through the services API. Consequently, implementing queries and transactions that span multiple services is challenging. In...

Downtime in any system is costly, often with dire consequences to a business profile. Whether it's a direct income loss or a more impactful negative perception of your company. If you are not measuring and harnessing those costs, you cannot prepare for failures when they hit you. Chaos...

Keynote: Operating Microservices: Everything Is at Scale

Featuring Sarah Wells

If you only have to do things a few times, you can do them manually. With microservices, you need to automate pretty much everything. Doing it manually just takes too long.

You will learn about the exponential effect chaos engineering practices can have on levelling...

Lightning Talk: Microservice Or Micromonolth

Featuring Andy Czerwinski

So what criteria do you use to describe the microservices that you have deployed into production? Do they follow the "golden path" of each service having control over every aspect of its self and all its supporting services? Or as you break up the ancient monolith, do you recreate lots...

Placing Microservices in Digital Transformations

Featuring Kenny Baas-Schwegler and Gideon de Kok

Microservices and Digital Transformations share a lot of the same properties; (almost) everyone is doing it, (almost) nobody knows how to do it, (almost) no-one actually knows what it means beyond the buzzword bingo. But in the focus to reduce structural complexity, the increase of autonomy and...
