Microservices workshop

In this course, we will become familiar in detail with microservice architecture. Based on my personal experience, from small companies to big corporations, I'll help you suggest optimal architecture and related processes for the effective development and operations of microservices. The course is adapted to attendees and the complexity of your solution. 

We will walk thru development and operations best practices for microservices. On real examples, I'll show you several concrete solutions based on microservice architecture. From designing local business problems to design systems based on microservices for mid to big companies. We will also touch Domain-Oriented Microservice Architecture, a solution designed for thousands of microservices.  

You will learn all necessary processes needed for the successful adoption of microservice architecture, such as Testing, Automated deployment, DevOps, API management, Monitoring, etc. You will learn how to use microservice architecture to design resilient and sustainable system.

JINDŘICH KUBÁT

Jindřich started his career as a backend developer in the basement of a small garage company when the word "startup" was an unknown term. Most of his career is related to Internet Mall, where he grew up from developer to the Head of Development. At Mall, among other things, he helped establish Agile development, DevOps culture, transition to Microservices and helped many clever people to grow up into senior technical or management positions. Now Jindřich has been working as a Head of Development in #komercka, leading about 500 developers and DevOps transformation. In his free time, he is helping companies with the transition to microservices in cooperation with Datascript. Jindřich has trained dozens of courses with excellent average evaluation and had helped few companies with a billion in revenue.
