Course description 

Prepare for A Rapidly Changing World - Develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to thrive in this changing world.

 

Ever experienced that moment where your heart sinks at the words “We just want you to make this one, small and trivial change…”. If you build software, change is an inevitable force in your life and your ability to react to change can be the difference between a killer product and a last-to-the-post flop. 

For over 10 years, the focus has been consistently applied to helping us work in a more agile and adaptable fashion, with far less focus on how to create software that thrives in an agile environment.

​

As companies are becoming more and more agile, and we see how they can now adapt in order to innovate and compete faster than their competition, software development teams are being forced to maintain and evolve large, monolithic applications at a pace of change that those architectures were never meant to withstand, let alone embrace!

The microservice software architecture allows a system to be divided into a number of smaller, individual, and independent services. 

 

Each service is flexible, robust, composable, and complete. They run as autonomous processes and communicate with one another through APIs. Each microservice can be implemented in a different programming language on a different platform. Almost any infrastructure can run in a container that holds services encapsulated for operation.

Why Microservices?

  • It is easier to Build and Maintain Apps

  • Improved Productivity, speed & better code quality

  • Flexibility in Using Technologies/language and Scalability

  • Autonomous, Cross-functional Teams

  • Focus on building business functionality, not *just* code

Description

The course is designed so that it can fit in with your other commitments for work and home.

​

 It is split into two 6 hour parts spread over two days. 

​

Each session includes interactive lectures, Q&A, as well as optional homework to help connect the days and weeks. 

November 20th, Saturday
10 AM - 5 PM (GMT+3)
(PART 1) Building Microservices
November 21st, Sunday

Take this online course if: 

  • You are thinking to adopt a microservice architecture or want to consult about it with the expert who has been there

​

  • You want a firm foundation in one of the most-talked-about technology trends of recent years

​

  • You want to become more of a technical leader and need to better understand how to determine the right solutions for your problems. Determine if you should use microservices for your own project.

Details

Course details

Who should attend?

The workshop itself is aimed at technologists currently working with, or planning to work with microservices. 

It’s suitable for architects, technical leads, developers, automation testers, and operations people. 

Requirements

This is a participatory course. You won't get to just sit there and watch - the more you participate in the workshop, the more you'll get out!

Prior knowledge of service-oriented architectures generally or microservices specifically is useful, but by no means essential.
