Hello Cloud Founders! At this installment of the Columbus Cloud Foundry Meetup we will have a special guest to discuss why Cloud Foundry is the best place to run microservices. Hint: We passed out his book at our inaugural Cloud Foundry meetup. Check out the bio below.
Companies need to build better software faster to compete. But existing monolithic applications, legacy platforms and lengthy operational deployment cycles are holding innovation back. Microservices are becoming the cloud architecture of choice because they offer the ability to loosely couple applications into discrete services that can be surgically changed without requiring disruptive overhauls. This approach enables the responsiveness and rapid change needed by the business. We will also explore how the Spring framework enables a microservice strategy and why Spring Boot has seen explosive growth.
With a better understanding of microservices in hand we will step into Cloud Foundry to see how they work together. Cloud Foundry is a critical foundation to simplify the operations, governance and health management of these new architectures.
Its going to be a great exchange!
