Microservices - 1-Wk Workshop

1-week workshop about microservices architecture and creating a plan for microservice architecture migration into Microsoft Azure.

The microservice architecture enables rapid, frequent, and reliable delivery of large and complex applications. If your organization is having trouble building and scaling a product organized as a monolithic architecture, this will be a great opportunity to get your team familiarized with the microservices, related technologies and methodologies and implementation in Microsoft Azure.

Agenda

The first three days includes time for instructor presentation, instructor-led demos, and Q&A. After that, two days are allocated to discuss possible candidates for microservice migration and creating a migration plan into Microsoft Azure.
