Micro-service delivery without the pitfalls

The days of delivering a monolithic desktop application once a year on physical media are long gone. Today we expect continuous (or at least frequent) delivery of upgrades and security patches with zero downtime. To support this, more and more companies are moving to a distributed, cloud-based architecture of collaborating micro-services. But managing the parallel creation and evolution of a micro-service ecosystem is not without it’s challenges.

In this session we’ll examine what can go wrong when organisations jump headfirst into micro-service architectures without understanding the potential pitfalls. You’ll leave with an understanding of contract testing enabling you, as quality advocates, to justify and facilitate its adoption within your SDLC.
