"Fail fast and fail often" - not only does the Silicon Valley mantra speak volumes on the relentless pursuit of innovation, it also highlights technology's power of unpredictability. But when creating a bank from scratch, the art is in combining pace of change and stability.

So when your boss thinks you are the next Google, the regulators say "what the cloud" and customers only care about being there 24/7 - what do you do? With...

What are your perceptions of NHS IT? Not great? Well the truth is very different to what you might expect. There is something of a technical renaissance going on in parts of the NHS where things are being done in a modern way, learning from past experiences.

Everyone is talking about microservices, and there is more confusion than ever about what the promise of microservices really means and how to deliver on it.

What many people forget is that microservices are distributed and collaborative by nature and only make sense as systems—one collaborator is no collaborator. It is in between...

Gold Badges Java, JVM, Memory, & Performance @StackOverflow / Lead developer of the OpenHFT project

In this talk we will look at the differences between micro-services and monolith architectures and their relative benefits and disadvantage. We will look at design patterns which will allow us to utilize these different strategies as a deployment concern without significant changes to the business logic. We will look at how micro-service architecture can be implemented under low latency constraints of 10 - 100 micro-second latencies, in Java in particular, and...
