When we began working on a new system that will replace other, ageing, systems, we decided to go for the Micro-Services path. Our starting point was tough - There was no Micro-Services-Oriented knowledge in the organization, we couldn't use cloud-based product, and the schedule was quite strict. Now, a year and a half after making that decision, we can look back and analyze that decision. In this talk we'll discuss, among the rest:

• Why did we decide to go with Micro Services at the first place?
• What did the design phase look like?
• What kind of training did we have to do?
• What technology and platforms we decided to use, and why?
• And, of course, did it work?
