This is the slide deck from my keynote at the EA User Event in Brussels, September 2015. Micro-services and micro-services architecture are the next hype in software development. Websites and blogs are full of introducing posts, the first books are being written and the first conferences organized. There’s big promises of scalability, flexibility and replaceability of individual elements in your landscape. However, when you are knee deep in the mud as a software architect at an insurance, it is very hard to find help on how to design applications and components in a micro-services architecture. During this talk Sander will show how he used Enterprise Architect to model the micro services architecture, and will explain the difficulties and the lessons learned, using many real-life examples.
