Hi,

I hope your 2023 is going well.

This newsletter covers the following topics:

• New article: CxOs neglect architecture at their peril
• My training offerings: groups vs. individuals
• My YOW! London presentation
• My new workshop: designing a microservice architecture
• Discount for my microservices data patterns bootcamp

Sincerely,

Chris

Each week I get numerous inquiries about my training offerings and I want to clarify the different types:



• Workshops - these are for groups of software builders within a single company. You cannot sign up as an individual. If you are interested please ask your VP/CxO to contact me.



• The microservices data patterns bootcamp - this boot camp is for individuals. It's self-paced so you can sign up at any time and get started.

In this presentation, I describe the dark energy and dark matter forces (a.k.a. concerns) that you must consider when deciding between the monolithic and microservice architectural styles. You will learn about how well each architectural style resolves each of these forces. I describe how to evaluate the relative importance of each of these forces to your application. You will learn how to use the results of this evaluation to decide whether to migrate to the microservice architecture.

I help organizations around the world (the Americas, Europe and APAC) use the microservice architecture.

I provide consulting and training to help you successfully adopt and use the microservice architecture.

I'm also available to speak at internal conferences and other corporate events.

Need help with a specific microservice architecture problem? Sign up for office hours.

I recently started teaching a brand new workshop: designing a microservice architecture. It covers how to identify services; define their responsibilities, and collaborations; and evaluate and refactor a microservice architecture. I'm available to teach this workshop at your organization.

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

The bootcamp consists of video lectures, quizzes and code walk-throughs/labs. It's self-paced and you can start at any time. There is a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.
