Microservices and teams organization: Why teams should share ownership for microservices and what that means in reality.

The probable reason why you would participate in this event is that there is a lot of hype around microservices. A YouTube search will produce a huge amount of talks on microservices.
In this talk we will touch upon several common beliefs on microservices that are either false dichotomies, misunderstood, or untrue. One of them is the so-called cognitive load of developers or teams. Another one is that dependencies between teams are bad and should be avoided. And obviously widely misunderstood Conway’s Law.

Topics that will be covered with Viktor, but are not limited to;
-Microservice definition
-From monolith to microservices
-Team organization and communication
-Descaling organizational complexity
-Dependency management
-Data relationship management
-Refactoring

This will be an interactive session, so please bring your questions.
