Microservices = Death of the ESB? (2016, Meetup Dublin)

I was invited to speak at Microservices Meetup Dublin this week. I updated my slide deck “Microservices – Death of the ESB?” … The meetup was fully booked with a waiting list; around 120 attendees came to Gild‘s office. (see attached link).

If you have not seen the slide deck last year, you should definitely take a look at this updated version with more recent information. I also incorporated valuable information from discussions with attendees in 2015’s sessions about this topic.

This time, the live demo included a Microservice Cloud Architecture with TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition for developing and coordinating Microservices, TIBCO Mashery for packaging and publishing Microservices, and Papertrail for monitoring and analyzing the log events of distributed Microservices.

I also recommend my article at Voxxed about this topic, which has already around 30.000 view in January 2016: “Do Good Microservices Architectures Spell the Death of the Enterprise Service Bus?
