About the event

Building out and designing efficient microservices makes all the difference when it comes to creating scalable software. As well as significantly improving service reliability , it becomes easier to manage, maintain and update each service separately – as monolithic applications are broken down into smaller, independent components.

We were joined by our experienced speakers from Applearn, Northcoders, Globent & Tunstall, who shared practical tips and best practices on how to navigate the world of microservices with real world examples.
