Presented by Bernd Rücker

With microservices (or serverless functions) whole architectures are cut into smaller pieces that are ideally loosely coupled. In this talk I will discuss what this means for business processes that typically span more than one microservice. I will tackle questions like: How can we ensure visibility of cross-microservice flows and provide status and error monitoring? How do we guarantee that overall flows always complete, even if single services fail? How can do this without introducing tight coupling or harming service autonomy? What does this mean for your architecture and the role of workflow automation technology within it?
