NOTE:  We are trying out a new, more central location this month!
Abstract
It's 2015. Most of us get the various motivations behind microservices. We want to be truly agile, and ship every iteration. We want our software to map to our organization. We want independent deployability. We want small, two pizza-box teams that control their own technological destiny, choosing the best tools for their focused job. We want polyglot, language-agnostic services and well-defined module boundaries. Decomposing applications into a set of microservices delivers all of this and more, but introduces additional complexity intrinsic intrinsic in the interactions between the services.
Join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long for at how Spring Cloud, which builds on Spring Boot and the Netflix OSS stack, can eliminate these complexity problems.
Attendees will emerge having learnt:
• basic drivers for microservices
• 12-factor app style configuration with the Spring Cloud configuration service
• service registration and discovery with Spring Cloud and Eureka
• preventing failure cascades with Spring Cloud and Hystrix and the Hystrix Dashboard
• building robust edge services or API gateways with Spring Cloud and Zuul
• client-side load-balancing with Spring Cloud and Ribbon
Bio
Josh Long is a Spring developer advocate at Pivotal.
