The Microservices Assessment Platform is generally available

We are pleased to announce that the Microservices Assessment Platform is generally available.

What is assessed

The platform enables an organization to assess the architecture of its microservices-based applications and identify areas that need to be improved.

There are two parts of the assessment.

  • Application assessment - the first part evaluates numerous aspects of your application’s overall microservice-based architecture
  • Service assessment - the second part of the assessment evaluates the following aspects of each service

Upcoming public workshops: Microservices and architecting for fast flow

In-person: Berlin and Milan

DevOps and Team topologies are vital for delivering the fast flow of changes that modern businesses need.

But they are insufficient. You also need an application architecture that supports fast, sustainable flow.

Learn more and register for one of my upcoming public workshops in November.

Virtual bootcamp: Distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture

My virtual bootcamp, distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture, is now open for enrollment!

It covers the key distributed data management patterns including Saga, API Composition, and CQRS.

It consists of video lectures, code labs, and a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.

The regular price is $395/person but use coupon CCMHVSFB to sign up for $95 (valid until November 8th, 2024). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
