Microservices Lessons Learned From a Startup
When we started our - still ongoing - journey from monolith to microservices we had the idea of a straightforward transformation process in mind. But microservices are complex and the process is not straightforward at all - it's a path with failure and detours along the way.
In this talk I would like to share some lessons learned along our microservices journey from a startup perspective - and what we would do differently in hindsight if we could start the journey again.

Insecure Transit - Microservice Security
Microservices are great, and they offer us lots of options for how we can build, scale and evolve our applications. On the face of it, they should also help us create much more secure applications - the ability to protect in depth is a key part of protecting systems, and microservices make this...

Debugging Microservices Applications
The mainstreaming of containerization and microservices is raising a critical question by both developers and operators: how do we debug all this? Debugging microservices applications is a difficult task. The state of the application is spread across multiple microservices, and it is hard to get...
