InfoQ Homepage Presentations Evening Event and Panel
The panelists hold an open discussion about the do’s and don’t’s of microservices, answering questions from the audience.
Adrian Cockcroft, Andrea Stubbe, Fred George, James Lewis, Oliver Wegner, Stefan Tilkov (moderator).
Micro Services are a new paradigm for software architecture: small services in separated processes take the place of large applications. This way monolithic architecture can be avoided, and systems are easily scalable and changeable. The microXchg conference looks at a variety of aspects of Micro Services.

I have given it a go and tried to define it here with the picture as this.
