Learning Outcome

As a Software developer I can refactor and further develop a complex brownfield microservice architecture, like "The Microservice Dungeon",

by me ...

• understanding the way the software landscape works, and where its flaws are, by implementing one part (a Player) as a starting point,
• prioritizing new features and refactoring tasks in an agile team process,
• specify, implement, test, and run my enhancements,,
• participate in Code Fights with my own Player, thus using my own software,,
• describe my work, my results, and my reflection in a developer documentation and a team presentation,

so that I can try out how it is to work in a team developing complex software systems with a distributed back and front end.
