This session explores the intersection of DevOps practices and user experience (UX) design in building scalable microservices architectures on the Google Cloud Platform. As modern applications increasingly adopt microservices for their flexibility and scalability, understanding both technical implementation and user-centric design considerations becomes crucial.

Prasun Das dives deep into the technicalities of implementing microservices on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). He covers essential aspects such as containerization with Docker, orchestration using Kubernetes, and leveraging Google Cloud tools for monitoring and logging. Attendees will gain insights into setting up efficient CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, ensuring seamless deployment and updates of microservices. Prasun's portion of the session aims to equip participants with the technical knowledge needed to build and manage robust microservices architectures.

Shifting gears, Suvra Shaw addresses the unique UX challenges that microservices-based applications present. He discusses applying design thinking principles to microservices development, emphasising modularity and consistency. Suvra shares best practices for creating a cohesive user experience across disparate services, implementing effective design systems, and conducting user research tailored to microservices applications. His presentation also explores the critical process of breaking down monolithic applications into user-centric microservices.

The session concludes with a joint discussion based on a real-world case study, fostering collaboration between DevOps and UX teams in microservices development. This holistic approach ensures that attendees gain a well-rounded understanding of both the technical and user-centric aspects of building scalable microservices architectures on Google Cloud Platform
