I've been designing & developing software solutions for quite a while now. In the past decade, most of my solutions are delivered within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and am now working on new and exciting Azure solutions.

During this time, I've been collaborating a lot with multiple customers & development teams and empowering them to implement the best possible solutions. Every project comes with its challenges, but having an agile mindset helps deliver simple solutions for complex problems.

By having a broad, hands-on, experience on multiple projects I'm able to guide decisions based on my experience and make sure Azure gets better for everyone!

From a distributed monolith to a microservices solution

Are you creating a microservices solution? You sure about this?
Creating small services that invoke other small services, which invoke even more smaller services most of the time results in a distributed monolith.

Using commands, events and loosely coupled services is something you SHOULD strive for!
I'm happy to show you my lessons learned in this realm and which Azure services you can use to create a very scalable & responsive microservices solution.
I'll quickly show you which services you should use, like Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Event Grid, and Storage Queues. With the short introduction out of the way, we'll dive into the details of these services, how to get the most out of them and when to use each service.

After this session, you'll be aware of the pitfalls in a service-to-service design and know how to implement a proper, loosely coupled, microservices solution.

Designing software in the cloud

Are you migrating to the cloud, or have you migrated already? Don't forget to update your software design also! Designing and developing software running on-premises often looks different compared to a cloud-native solution.

You can do a 1-on-1 migration of your software, and it will run fine*, but by leveraging a couple of standard cloud patterns, you can make the software more robust and cost-effective.

I'll show you which steps I often take for migrating software to a cloud environment and which problems arise along the way. After this session, you'll have a clear understanding of what to do for a successful migration.
