Lagom is coming for your monolith
Details
It is open source. It is highly opinionated.
Build greenfield microservices and decompose your Java EE monolith like a boss.
In this session, we discuss Lightbend's new open source project, Lagom:
• How it succinctly addresses the challenges behind monolith decomposition
• Lays a foundation for no more CRUD (capture behavior instead)
• Provides a natural audit log
• Enforces proper programming semantics
• Abstracts distributed computing
• And many other goodies
Speakers: Duncan DeVore (https://twitter.com/ironfish) and Henrik Engström
