Abstract

When thinking about a mciroservice architecture there is so much to consider! The topic is broad, and sometimes the expertise needed to understand parts of it are deep. This can make them a pretty daunting subject. Lucking, QCon is at hand! In the final slot of the microservices track, we'll be bringing together all the track speakers to deliver a panel exploring this space, hosted by Sam Newman.
They'll be reflecting on topics raised during the track, looking at things like security, service meshes and how to trouble shoot distributed systems. They'll also take a look forward, and see what the next 12 months may hold for people building microservice architectures.
