Talk:
Breaking the Monolith: Unlocking the Power of Event-Driven Microservices

Abstract:
For modern business, software applications are the secret to success. However, current approaches with both monoliths and microservices, including REST APIs and message queues (MQs) for interservice communication, simply aren’t enough to build modern real-time applications. This is where an event-driven architecture (EDA) and event-driven microservices can help.In this session, we'll walk through the stages describe in the Strangler Fig Pattern for incrementally breaking a monolithic application down into microservices. Additionally, we'll show how you can build new use cases with Kafka after setting your data in motion.

Bio:
Leo Yuen is a Partner Solutions Engineer at Confluent, he works closely with partners in APAC region to provide technical guidance and design advice to build solutions around real-time stream processing with Confluent & Kafka.
