What is the Compliance-Ready Microservices Operating course about?

Teams invest heavily in breaking monoliths apart, only to face recurring compliance findings, inconsistent service governance, and operational toil that undermines velocity. The gap isn't technical, it's structural. Without a deliberate operating model, microservices multiply complexity faster than value.
