6:50 - 7:00: Introductions, messages & announcements
7:00 - 8:30: Microservices: what's Missing...

Session Details:

Many people have now figured out how to get started with microservices, and there are frameworks available for most common languages and platforms. However, there are some key aspects of large scale successful microservice deployments that tend to be skipped which leads to common problems in the transition. 

This talk will assume that the audience is familiar with microservices as a concept, and dig in deeper to some key issues including but not limited to versioning, routing, protocols, failure injection testing, denormalized data models, distributed transactions, monitoring and simplicity through symmetry.
