Deconstructing a Java Monolith to Microservices
Details
Hello Nairobi JVM,
Let's meet and discuss deconstructing monoliths.
Microservices is an approach to building software applications and infrastructure. Instead of building a single, monolithic application, individual teams build and iterate on small "microservices". This method was pioneered by companies such as Google, Twitter, Amazon, and Netflix, and is now being widely adopted by many organizations, large and small.

From compiling `c` binaries to deploying his first WAR container in Tomcat. He has a keen and professional interest in distributed systems. Working to have performant event based systems that are reactive, consistent and available. This is where he met the pattern of micro services.
