We keep hearing how amazing it is to cut a giant monolith into microservices, but we rarely hear how to get started when knowing little about the subject.

I will show you how to bootstrap a new project covering things like security, observability, graceful shutdown, and grpc. The best thing about it? You don't need to know anything to jump on the train!
