Microservices and You: The Straight Dope

You have started to hear about microservices and you want to learn more about what happens when the rubber meets the road. In this talk I will cover the process I went through in constructing http://wwww.flatfluffy.com, a multi-device application for gamified recording of roadkill.

While I will briefly cover how I went about the process, I will pay particular attention to how to get started, understanding what microservices ACTUALLY needs, and how you too can be
a microservices practitioner. My talk style is informal and interactive so there will be a back and forth to discuss some of your implementation questions. Come in curious, leave with some solid ideas on how to get started on your first microservice architected application.
