Monoliths to microservices. A Journey

REGISTRATION: https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/7030-monoliths-to-microservices-a-journey

ABSTRACT
Our monolithic system is a pain to work with and maintain. Moving to a distributed system will solve all your problems and you will be in developer heaven. Right? You will be working with cool technologies and amazing concepts. Plus, it's Microservices! So what could possibly go wrong?

In this talk Sam Elamin will relate his real life experience migrating a single ASP.NET application with a monolithic database to a distributed system dealing with £100,000 transactions every hour. Sam will cover the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and offer some final takeaways.

This story "from the trenches" will show you the pitfalls to avoid when doing Microservices.
