Road to Microservices is a hands-on evening event hosted by Sotex Solutions in collaboration with IcePanel, bringing together architects, developers, and tech leads to explore how the C4 Model and model-based architecture can simplify the transition to microservices. Through practical examples, live demonstrations, and open discussion, participants will learn how to maintain clarity, consistency, and scalability in complex software systems.
Join us on December 4 at Brkina Marina Pub for a relaxed tech meetup that brings software architects, developers, and tech leaders together to explore how the C4 Model transforms system design and communication.
