Webinar: Transactional microservices with Vitess - coordination without state
Channel: CNCF [Cloud Native Computing Foundation]

As services move to the cloud many organizations are looking to microservices to streamline development, improve reliability, and accelerate feature delivery. Developing and deploying microservices can have a hidden complexity - data. If you are migrating away from a monolithic service that uses transactions to keep data safe and consistent how do you translate that to a distributed micro-service world? In this tutorial, we will show how to use the Cloud Native Database Vitess to create safe ACID distributed transactions that behave exactly like transactions on a monolithic system, with no additional complexity. Using Vitess's gRPC API we will create an application that pushes transaction state into a client-side object that can live across multiple microservices without any modification to business logic.
