Description:

Monoliths are ubiquitous, but they've had their day. Increasingly, businesses of all sizes are turning to microservices to enable them to run leaner. Microservices allow organizations to scale their teams, deploy more frequently and give their developers more autonomy, but they're not without their drawbacks. Microservices, by their nature, are distributed, and this brings a whole load of additional challenges to solve.

When designing any service, it's critical that it be responsive, even under the worst possible conditions. In this webcast, we will explore some of the patterns that Java developers can use to ensure their systems are resilient and elastic.

You will learn:

• The challenges posed by a microservice architecture
• The importance of being message-driven
• How to design your services to be resilient and elastic
• The benefits of event sourcing and CQRS
