The number of microservices running in enterprises increases daily. As a result, service composition, governance, security, and observability are becoming a challenge to implement and incorporate. A cell-based architecture is an approach that can be applied to current or desired development and technologies to address these issues. This technology-neutral approach helps cloud native dev teams become more efficient, act in a more self-organized manner, and speed overall release times.

Asanka Abeysinghe offers an overview of the cell-based reference architecture, which is decentralized, API-centric, cloud native, and microservices friendly. He explains the role of APIs in the cell-based approach, as well as how real applications are built as cells. Asanka then explores the metrics and approaches that can be used to measure the effectiveness of the architecture and how organizations can implement the cell approach.

This session is sponsored by Ballerina.
