Migrating Mature Monoliths to Microservices

Abstract
You've heard people talking about microservices, you may have done some yourself but if you are working on a mature monolith you'd be wise to think hard about about if and how you should move to microservices. We at Vice Software have just wrapped up a 2 month discovery with an enterprise client and are starting our first sprint on the migration effort next week. Let's get together and talk about why our clients are taking the plunge, the tools, patterns and practices we are embracing and most importantly how we are planning to safely introduce microservices into their mission critical software without disrupting their revenue or up time. I'd like to share our thoughts and notes and then have a discussion with the group about microservices. Let's share some war stories and learn together.
