Alex Soto gives a presentation on microservices and related topics such as isolation of code and data, reactive programming, and container orchestration with Kubernetes. He discusses challenges in deploying and managing containers at scale and introduces concepts like circuit breaker patterns and cloud native applications. Soto also covers advantages of monolithic applications and strategies for migrating from monoliths to microservices. The presentation includes demonstrations and encourages an approach of releasing software incrementally as "unicorns."
