Monolith First

:Description: Micro services are the hot stuff, but do they really solve your
              problem? We analyze the effort and cost of a micro service
              infrastructure for your teams. In addition we show how to sanely
              create a monolithic architecture first and migrate to micro
              services afterwards.

Microservices architectures are all the hype at the moment we have seen a lot
of green-field projects starting with a Docker-based microservices setup from
the start, causing unnecessary complexity and slowdowns for the dev team. In
this talk we want to argue against the current Zeitgeist and convince you that
starting with a Monolith first is always the better choice. We will discuss
benefits and downsides of Monolith vs Microservice systems, how to migrate from
one to the other when the need arises and throw in some real-life experiences
we had over the years.

Building a sensible monolith first to be able to refactor into a micro service
architecture later requires some skills. Boost your team with a `Qafoo workshop
on refactoring`__ and other skills to avoid pitfalls.
