From Monolith to Microservices: A Journey into the Mesh

The proposal of the talk is to provide an end-user oriented view about the transformation of a monolith into microservices for a certain application. It will summarize the motivations for that transformation - what drove us to embrace microservices and the benefits that is offering to us. Following advantages will be highlighted: - security - optimizing internal traffic - observability - improvements on application deployment Pain point, common caveats, difficulties for onboarding developers, and specially changing the paradigm will be topics to explore as well. Attendees will be able to understand what is a service mesh, what makes it different from an API gateway, and the advantages and constraints that it brings with it.
