Microservices, People and Business
The Business Behind Microservices: Organisational, Architectural and Operational Challenges
In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem, what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps, but this is not always the situation. Daniel Bryant will share some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics I have used over the past four years.
Join him for a whistle-stop tour of the business and people challenges that I have experienced first hand when implementing a greenfield microservice project and also breaking down a monolith.
We’ll look at ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of conway's law, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation (e.g. DevOps, CD).

Microservices Bingo
The schedule is being firmed up. If you would like to showcase a technology or technique in a lightning talk (10-15 mins) or give a demo of your system or product, then please get in touch, we are hoping to have several, plus a larger talk, discussion or hack session.
