Microservices are no longer just for API developers. Fitch Solutions has been building API microservices for years while maintaining a monolithic front-end application architecture.
In this talk, we will describe how to successfully migrate to full-stack microservices serving not only the APIs, but also the web components necessary to deliver the features to customers.

The main areas of concern will include:

How a service mesh helped route traffic within Kubernetes to support full-stack services.
How web components allowed Fitch Solutions to mix and match heterogeneous UI technologies
How developing along service context boundaries increased their productivity by removing inter-team dependencies
How continuous integration tools have automated security checks that were previously manual
How this transition will enable developers to release multiple times per day
How smaller, more discrete deliverables have improved the resiliency, maintainability and extensibility of the Fitch Connect system
