1) Pros/Cons of Microservices 2) Microservices workshop

Abstract

1) It seems as if the whole world of software development is jumping on the bandwagon to move to a microservices architecture. There are a lot of good aspects to architecting a system in this fashion, but what about the downsides? Are microservices a silver bullet and will they solve all our problems? Cassie will present on the pros and cons of microservices and a better understanding of the things to consider and practices to follow to decide whether or not microservices are the best approach for them. 2) In a hands-on tutorial, Cassandra Shum explore microservices and demonstrate how to deploy service-oriented software using the popular DevOps tool Docker. Participants will learn a continuous delivery approach focused on building, testing, and deploying independent microservices to production continuously and autonomously. Topics include: Testing microservices and ensuring changes do not break dependent systems Deploying and scaling microservices in a multihost Docker environment Keeping different versions of microservices running side by side Service discovery Operational concerns Future trends Structure and audience
