Decomposing a monolith with event driven architecture w/ Nathan Gonzalez

This story has played out thousands of times: the core application for the business is a monolith, and its terribly difficult to maintain and work on. Everyone wants a total rewrite, but those never work out. In this session we'll look at some strategies for breaking out of the monolith as you build new things as well as how to gradually replace your monolith without a full rewrite. We'll be taking a walk through the process my company went through as we broke down an ancient ASP.net WebForms monolith and used event driven architecture to achieve it. We'll also be defining event driven patterns and you'll be shown some implementations of these patterns in real world code.

Ever since, Nathan has been on a mission to help grow and mentor developers in Nashville in the same way that was done for him all those years ago. Currently he's the Lead C# instructor for the
Nashville Software School evening program, and the VP of Development for Ncontracts.
