Everyone’s excited about microservices, but actual implementation is sparse. Perhaps the reason is that people are unclear on how these services talk to one another; especially tricky is properly maintaining identity and access management throughout a sea of independent services. Read more

Check out the video and slides below if you missed it, and plan to join us in Copenhagen to hear more about the use of social APIs. Read more
