I built a portable IoT escape room, and it changed how I think about development!

Architecture
Fun
IoT
Microservices

In this session, we'll uncover unexpected parallels between escape rooms and architecting resilient, scalable systems. Let me share the lessons learned, and how they translate into invaluable guidance for Domain-Driven Design (DDD), modularity, communication, scalability and fault tolerance. Doors will be unlocked at the end - even if the audience can't solve the puzzles.
