Moving from a layered software architecture to a vertical slice architecture can be a bit daunting. We remove abstractions, complex structures, and focus building on the axis of change, then what is next? What new structures, patterns, and policies will need to be introduced in this style of software architecture? How will we deal with

Despite the benefits of microservices, this software architecture has introduced some security challenges. This talk focuses on the confidentiality issues associated with this architecture. The main point is that microservices architecture could introduce major insider threats to data confidentiality.

What have cats got to tell us about Software Architecture? Well, most people are roughly familiar with cats, their boundaries and their input/output mechanisms. It turns out it’s very easy to see when a use case has gone wrong when using a cat. This presentation examines typical cat use cases and see what lessons we
