Red Hat® Microservices Day began 6 years ago as a one-day conference for software engineers, architects and dev leadership to explore the (then) new approach of microservices architecture.
Through the years, this popular event has provided IT and network professionals with new and future insights on included patterns, practices, tools, tips, approaches, and guidelines for building modern, cloud-native, microservices applications from dozens of expert speakers.
Get the most from your microservices experience. Join us on Thursday, September 8 virtually with other Canadian service providers and Red Hat subject matter experts as we dive into powerful sessions on serverless, event streaming, API’s, integration, testing, and tools.
Experience the latest toolsets and practices needed to successfully deliver applications with microservices. What are you waiting for?

Accelerating Cloud-Native Application Development with Design Thinking
Speaker: Devin Phillips, Senior Architect, Cloud-Native Runtimes Practice, Red Hat
Many great innovators rely on design thinking as a way to creatively approach problems and create enriched customer experiences. In this session we will demonstrate how to apply key human-centered techniques to the development of web-based applications.
Specifically, we will demonstrate how quickly a new web-based application can be designed and validated with stakeholders by leveraging tooling around contract-first API Development. We will also show how quickly a user experience can be created, iteratively, without having to be bottlenecked by waiting for API changes, waiting for SDK development, and other traditional barriers to fast feedback loops. |

How Much Testing Does My Microservice Really Need?
Speaker: Steve Tran, Principal Consultant, Red Hat
Almost all companies developing microservices struggle with how and what to test. Having developed hundreds of microservices across multiple projects one thing is clear: everyone has a different opinion of what needs to be tested and how.
In this presentation we will discuss techniques that have worked for Red Hat's customers, some that did not work, and how to adopt a “shift-left” culture. We will also cover the background and theory of good testing practices, beginning with the test pyramid, and moving to CI/CD with techniques like contract testing, performance testing, and code coverage, and introduce tools like Mockito and Cucumber. |

Building GraphQL layer to connect data from disparate sources for front end experiences
Speaker: Ram Gopinathan, Sr. Specialist Solutions Architect, Red Hat
This talk will focus on why you should think about building a GraphQL layer to connect data from disparate sources such as Microservices, Databases, Legacy systems etc.. As organizations are moving towards a microservices architecture often needs of developers building user experiences gets forgotten or missed which leads to front end developers building custom experience APIs following a pattern called Backend for Front Ends (BFF).. We will cover benefits of GraphQL interface for front end developers to read and write data from disparate sources and share real world experiences and end the session with a demo of a GraphQL server running in Openshift connecting data from disparate sources such as microservices, databases
