Redesigning a Monolithic App as Microservices

During the training of these two days, we will cover a high-level architectural overview of what is needed to design, develop and maintain an application built with microservices.

We will examine a microservices application developed adhering to current best practices, deploy it on Kubernetes and add the necessary infrastructural elements to make it resilient and self-healing.

This training is also available as an in-house, on-site opportunity.

We’ll help you build it better and faster. Talk to an expert ->
