A few weeks ago, SmartBear hosted API Craft Boston with the folks from Akana, Ian Goldsmith and Laura Heritage, to talk about microservices. It was an extremely informative presentation of where microservices came from, what it solves, and considerations around how it might fit into an organizational API strategy.
It’s one thing to read everyone else’s opinions on blogs, twitter, etc. It’s great to go to workshops and conferences, but this was so intelligently presented (and for a meetup too), that I walked away feeling epicly enlightened. Considering SmartBear is presenting at APIdays/APIstrat Berlin this month, the Architecture, Scalability and Microservices sessions should also be on the list of must see talks because this topic needs as much expansion and contending curation as possible, like all emergent tech.
