The presentation introduces and discusses mu.semte.ch: a platform for building state-of-the-art web applications fuelled by Linked Data aware microservices. The mu.semte.ch platform assumes a mashup-like construction of single page web applications which consume various services. In order to reuse tooling built in the community, Linked Data is not pushed to the frontend.
