Detailed information can be found in the BankingInTheCloud-Fineract repo

Workshop Goal

After the workshop participants are able to work with the Mifos I/O project. They understand the basic concepts of microservices architectures and the tools that are necessary to work with them. After the workshop participants are able to explore the Mifos I/O project in depth on their own.

Note that it depends on the workshop time and number of participants how much of the outline can really be done. The workshop is generally designed for five whole day, but can be shortened to two-four days. Workshops shorter than five days might not include the complete setup of Mifos I/O but a simpler example.
