Build a Monolith before Going for Microservices: Jan de Vries at MicroXchg Berlin
Most developers don’t work at global large-scale companies like Netflix. Most developers work in much smaller companies with maybe up to 50 – 80 developers, Jan de Vries noted in his presentation at MicroXchg Berlin, where he argued that a properly built monolith in many cases is superior to a microservices based architecture.

Creating Events from Databases Using Change Data Capture: Gunnar Morling at MicroXchg Berlin
When you store data in a database, you often also want to put the same data in a cache and a search engine. The challenge is how to keep all data in sync without distributed transactions and dual writes. One way is to use a change data capture (CDC) tool that captures all changes made. In a presentation at MicroXchg Berlin, Gunnar Morling described Debezium, an implementation of CDC using Kafka.
