PANEL DISCUSSION + Live Q&A
Panel: What Have We Learned Over the Last Decade of Microservices?
Our expert panel of Microservices practitioners will be looking at and examining what we as an industry have learned over the last decade or so building and delivering Microservices architectures. We will discuss what some of the common challenges are for newcomers to the space, and look at what worked and what didn’t. We will also explore what approaches, techniques and tools have managed to stand the test of time (or not), as well as gain some insight into future thoughts and trends in this space.
