DevConf.US 2021

At the intersection of science, art, patterns, and methods, Design 4 Developers (Design4Developers.io) gives you practices and patterns for creating better microservices that are simpler to test, write, and deploy. Developers spend a great deal of time writing software for consumption by humans, but don’t necessarily consider humans in the process. In this session, we'll avoid the depths of any particular technology stack and instead focus on human-centered technology needs. These needs are universal to all of us as humans and transcend any technical choice. Being aware of these needs will ultimately make you a better developer no matter what kind of development you do. We'll discuss: How to complement your development and deployment efforts with human considerations using the 5Es (Entice, Enter, Engage, Exit, and Extend) to design compelling MicroServices experiences How to overlay them with the 9 principles of “The SaaS-Ment” to identify typical friction with MicroServices creation.
