*** Heterogeneous Microservices Stacks - picking the right tools for the job
In Microservice environments there can be different requirements for various parts of the system. That means different tools or frameworks can be the best fit for each service. We'll share our ideas on matching tooling with requirements, guided by some practical examples.

Presented by: Eike Dehling, Software developer at Trifork

Eike has around 4 years of hands-on experience with the Elastic stack, in applications ranging from centralized logging or service monitoring to terabyte scale real-time analytics on (social) media data. Eike’s specialities include performance tuning, scaling and operations.

*** The road to continuous deployment

It’s a situation many of us are familiar with: a large legacy, monolithic application, limited or no tests, slow & manual release process, low velocity, no confidence… A lot of refactoring is required, but management keeps pushing for new features.

How to proceed? Using examples and lessons learned from a real-world case, I’ll show you how to replace a legacy application with a modern service-oriented architecture and build a continuous integration and deployment pipeline to deliver value from the first sprint. On the way, we’ll take a look at the process, automated testing, monitoring, master/trunk based development and various tips and best practices.

Presented by: Michiel Rook, Continuous deployment advocate at make.io (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__make.io_&d=DwMFaQ&c=yIH1_-b1hO27QV_BdDph9suDL0Jq0WcgndLmIuQXoms&r=ZlfcPle8Ww6Kn-_N9BYQthNLhDoyWVRHm7Aw8w49ZNc&m=cpglxBwTO75BZfP_C3jZGE9s88sedcyWQnPffdvFgq0&s=fjW6fO8nA9cLVnNbkBPFyePE3y81fydC6B5lV_9EeUo&e=)
