Lecture 1

6 Lessons I Learned on my Journey from Monolith to Microservices, by Eran Stiller – CTO, CodeValue

Eran Stiller is a software architect, consultant, instructor and technology addict. With many years of experience in software development and architecture and a track record of public speaking and community contribution, Eran is recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) on Microsoft Azure since 2016 and as a Microsoft Regional Director (MRD) since 2018.

Microservices is all the rage. We want to use Microservices, we want to decompose into Microservices and we want Microservices to be a part of our world. While modern tools and platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, Service Mesh and the public cloud help in implementing and maintaining such systems, the reality is that many fail even before the first line of code was written.

Join Eran as he provides his perspective on transitioning from Monolith to Microservices through lessons learned in the real world, while architecting multiple Microservices based software systems at various customers.

How does a healthy release of a microservice-based-applications deployed in Kubernetes look like? What are the building blocks of a successful release strategy? How does my code eventually get to production?

Find out the answers, from the field, to these questions and more in this lecture. We’ll explore using the native Kubernetes APIs, Ingress, Helm and Azure Pipelines Release Management to build a Blue/Green deployment, add a Canary/Phased release and finally discuss a full E2E implementation of GitOps to different environments (Dev/QA/Prod).
