Data Gateways: Legacy data for microservices
Channel: DevConf
Date: 2020-10-08

Speaker: Hugo Guerrero

Application architecture evolution has fragmented the backend implementation into independent microservices and functions. However there is still a gap on the way this evolution has dealt with data as it tends to avoid dealing with static environments. At the same time, microservices encourage developers to create new polyglot data persistence layers that then, need to be composite to deliver business value. How can we apply the knowledge from API gateways to these new data stores?

In this session we will talk about:
How data gateways act like API gateways to offer a secured abstraction layer on top of the physical data stores,
the different data gateway types and architectures, and
extended data-proxy for hybrid cloud deployments
