Have you seen microservices with mqtt? How to test those? Check out this video!

Microservices and MQTT?


When two apps talk to each other so many things can go wrong... Have you ever integration tested their communication? Are you really sure that the tests are telling the truth? Learn about contract testing from me, the maintainer of Spring Cloud Contract :)

Integration testing microservices

When dealing with microservices it's difficult to do proper testing. Especially when you're doing message based communication - have you actually considered all scenarios when transactions come into play? Check this video for more information :)

Testing your messaging application

Either for a monolith or a microservice you need observability. You need to know what is going on with your application. In this video you can learn how to do observability of Java applications.

Application observability


Microservices are great...but are they? Should you always use them? When should you actually avoid using microservices? Let's look at some research papers related to the topic.

When to avoid microservices?


Although it's been 7 years since I did this presentation some things haven't changed... Those are the concepts behind doing zero downtime deployment with microservices! You can check out my presentation from Spring.IO conference where I've been talking about the said topic :)

Doing zero downtime deployment with microservices

The training introduces participants to microservices, discussing key concepts of dependency management and project generation. Participants learn how to create projects, manage configuration, and refresh the application configuration as it runs. Participants will also focus on microservices communication. They will learn about service discovery, HTTP resilient communication and message-based communication. Practical exercises include creating HTTP applications, using circuit breakers and writing API gateways. The training also focuses on application observability. Participants learn to monitor applications, create metrics, track distributed systems and test stability using chaos engineering. The training also covers the use of feature toggles.

Business won't wait, the platform won't either

Java Champion, ex-Spring Cloud & Micrometer team member

I show how platform teams reduce cognitive load and enable teams via automation, self-service and standards

Platform teams as business accelerators

Using real org examples, I explain how to define platform goals, success metrics and feedback loops

From cost center to internal product

I show why microservices need a platform to succeed.
