SANDER HOOGENDOORN: Designing, developing and deploying a microservices architecture

The development and maintenance of monoliths presents organizations with increasing challenges, resulting in high costs and a slow time-to-market. More and more organizations are therefore attempting to componentize their applications. The latest and greatest paradigm microservices finally seems to deliver on thepromises of service oriented architecture: shortening time-to-market, scalability, autonomy, and exchangeability of technology and databases.

The challenges of delivering microservices however are equally big. What makes acomponent a microservice? How to design, develop and deploy these smallservices? How does collaboration between analysts, developers, testers andoperations change the organizations?

During the one day course, from his years of experience in agile, Scrum, requirements, architecture and code Sander Hoogendoorn shared the voyage that implementing a microservices landscape is.

He answered questions on modelingand designing microservices, the granularity of applications and services, thecommunication between services, design patterns, polyglot persistence, testing services and setting up deployment pipelines. Richly illustrated with real-lifeexamples, the course gived a perfect introduction into this promising technology.
