Your boss comes up to you one day and says, “I’d like you to deploy code to production multiple times a day, without the need for non-developer involvement or off-hours scheduling. Oh, and product should be able to decide how and when to release features to customers. And make sure to do this without impacting stability!”

In this workshop, Derek Ferguson, Matt Jones and Rashid Mohammad from Fitch Solutions are going to take you on a journey of refactoring a monolith into microservices and micro UIs. Along the way they will introduce fast requirement gathering techniques, architecture best practices and a fail-safe quality product delivery process.

By the end of the day, your app that started out as a monolith will become a beautifully architected set of containers that can be delivered safely and independently into production on demand. Specifically, this course will cover:

  • Microservices using Spring Framework Micro UIs using Vue.JS
  • Containers with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Service Mesh
  • Event Sourcing with Kafka

Prerequisites: In order to benefit from this class, it is important that developers have a strong fundamental understanding of Java and Javascript. A background with VueJS would be ideal, but experience with React or Angular would be equally helpful (though not required).

Style: Bring your own laptop. Instructions will be provided ahead of time for the installation of required components, which will include Virtual Box, Vagrant and a Vagrant Image.
