Microservices or Not? A Dependency Management Decision - Lecture

Explore a modular approach to cloud migration and application architecture in this 55-minute conference talk from GeeCON Prague 2023. Delve into Magnolia's Labs team's journey of moving their platform to the cloud, focusing on dependency management and architectural decisions. Learn why starting with microservices may not always be the best approach and how to leverage Java's powerful features like interfaces, implementations, modules, testing, and Jakarta standards to create a flexible application deployable as either a monolith or microservices. Examine a practical example showcasing different modules and their interconnections, and discover various testing strategies for modular applications. While the demonstration uses Java and Quarkus for deployment, understand how these principles apply to any JVM environment. Gain insights into the benefits of this modular approach for developing, testing, and deploying applications, and access the accompanying code repository for hands-on exploration.
