Three years ago we started refactoring a monolith into a microservice platform. We want to share the lessons we’ve learned the hard way and provide some answers to problems we ran into:
What kind of organization helps to reflect the vertical boundaries in software while your team grows?
How do you define bounded contexts with many teams and features?
Are there ways to guide your teams and enable autonomy on all levels in your organization?
How does Eventing change the way you think about your entities?
How can multiple microservices contribute to the same pages?
As you see we will share our interpretation of an architecture where developers stay in the driver’s seat and have a fair degree of independence.
