Deploying and Managing Cloud Microservices in a GxP Environment

Microservice architecture is an approach where an application is deployed as a collection of loosely coupled independent services.  By utilizing microservices, SaaS vendors can develop, deploy, and scale each microservice without affecting the other services, which facilitates the rapid delivery of new features.  The rapid delivery of new microservice versions presents a challenge to customers operating in regulated environments which require that the system be maintained in a validated state.   

Join us for a discussion on the benefits of microservice architecture and approaches for deploying and managing SaaS solutions utilizing microservice architecture in GxP regulated environments.

In this session, you will learn about:

• Overview and benefits of microservice architecture
• Considerations for deploying and qualifying microservices for systems used in GxP regulated environments
• Approach to microservice deployment and management for GxP regulated environments

Speakers: 

Brian Hobbs – Engineering Director (BioPharma Lifecycle Management)
