This is a chance for talks to be presented select content to an internal worldwide audience at Red Hat, but that does not mean that all the content is confidential. That means I would be remiss if I didn't share my session content.
In 2019, together with Roel Hodzelmans, we presented a Red Hat Summit birds of a feather session called 3 pitfalls everyone should avoid with microservices. This was the foundational start to our journey along the lines of sharing what is concerning to many of our customers.
