About Microservices.io
Microservices.io is brought to you by Chris Richardson. Experienced software architect, author of POJOs in Action, the creator of the original CloudFoundry.com, and the author of Microservices patterns.
Chris helps clients around the world adopt the microservice architecture through consulting engagements, and training classes and workshops.
New virtual bootcamp: Distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture
My virtual bootcamp, distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture, is now open for enrollment!
It covers the key distributed data management patterns including Saga, API Composition, and CQRS.
It consists of video lectures, code labs, and a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.
The regular price is $395/person but use coupon YRXRIEAS to sign up for $295 (valid until April 30th, 2021). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
LEARN about microservices
Chris offers numerous resources for learning the microservice architecture.
Training classes
Chris teaches comprehensive workshops, training classes and bootcamps for executives, architects and developers to help your organization use microservices effectively.
Avoid the pitfalls of adopting microservices and learn essential topics, such as service decomposition and design and how to refactor a monolith to microservices.
Delivered in-person and remotely.

BUILD microservices
Consulting services
Engage Chris to create a microservices adoption roadmap and help you define your microservice architecture,
The Eventuate platform
Use the Eventuate.io platform to tackle distributed data management challenges in your microservices architecture.
Eventuate is Chris's latest startup. It makes it easy to use the Saga pattern to manage transactions and the CQRS pattern to implement queries.
ASSESS your architecture
Consulting services
Engage Chris to conduct an architectural assessment.
Self assessment
Alternatively, conduct a self-assessment using the Microservices Assessment Platform.
