Also, make sure you check out the new Teck Camp website, and please do let us know what you think!

Online: Getting the Chunk on Top of the Cloud – Register here
When already used to deploying traditional, monolithic, applications, deployments utilising microservices on the cloud always constitute a big challenge. Even more so when you are not familiar with what you need to use for which component of the monolithic application, and how you can ensure that current in-place measures for security and compliance are met. Even more so if the decision is to move the application completely to be based on a serverless deployment. This talk will outline the project management process of doing that transition including planning and also execution. Check out more on the event page!
