Abstract
A standard set of challenges face every enterprise with goals of modernizing. The usual suspects are their monolithic or legacy applications, hardware and software infrastructure, and software/service availability. Enterprises are usually in need of transforming their solutions to align with their long-term vision and goals. What differs is the urgency to act and the availability of funds. Modernization involves improving an enterprise’s software architecture and making it nimble and agile. Such enterprise-level efforts introduce us to the microservices architecture, with the promise to enable quick and further progress.
