The modern Internet is made of compose-able and interoperable components all speaking HTTP. The evolution from the older monolithic application stack to a loosely coupled collection of services delivering specialized features has many benefits and these breakdown into roughly two buckets - speed of development and speed of repair.

This webcast will share the ways this new architecture enables businesses to innovate, move faster, and with more grace to provide the best possible experience to their end users. We'll cover several concepts that developers and architects can think about in their code and architecture to give their users a better experience when failure does happen.
