The world economy is becoming increasingly digitized, and what success looks like in that digital world is changing significantly.
At the heart of this digital transformation is the migration from traditional, monolithic services to microservices that break an application down into its core functions. Each function (called a service) can be built and deployed independently, meaning individual services can function (and fail) without negatively affecting the others.
Shifting to microservices makes continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) more achievable, which is why the majority of organizations are already migrating to microservices,1 most new workloads are deployed in containers, and most internet traffic is made up of API calls.
