In this session we will discuss both traditional monolithic deployments as well as the hottest fashion of the day - microservices. This is the first part of a 3 part series (Why, Playground, Real-World) - in this session we will focus heavily on why microservices have taken the industry by storm. At the same time, we are also going to discuss "fast, light monoliths" as a necessary prerequiste along your journey to microservices. Slides are already public at bit.ly/helloworldmsa
