[Executive Dinner] Monoliths vs Microservices: Balancing Team Autonomy and Shared Responsibilities

As teams transition from monolithic to microservice architectures, the challenge goes beyond technical implementation—it’s about balancing team autonomy with shared responsibilities. A crucial but often overlooked aspect of this shift is authorization. How do you ensure consistent access control across independent services without sacrificing flexibility?

Join us in Seattle for an exclusive dinner event with engineering executives as we dive into the trade-offs, migration paths, and team dynamics that shape architectural decisions. We’ll explore topics like:

1. Navigating the Monolith-to-Microservices Shift – Understanding when and why to break apart a monolith
2. Team Structure’s Impact on Architecture – Aligning system design with engineering workflows
3. Scaling Challenges & Migration Pitfalls – Lessons learned from teams that have successfully (or unsuccessfully) made the transition
4. Authorization in a Distributed World – Strategies for keeping access control consistent across evolving architectures
5. Managing Complexity at Scale – Tools and frameworks that help streamline microservices operations

This invite-only gathering brings together a select group of engineering executives for an evening of networking, shared learning, and engaging discussions over dinner with peers facing similar architectural challenges.

We hope to see you there!
