The monolithic approach to software development is headed for extinction.
Companies are increasingly looking to microservices to break down large sets of code so that smaller, dedicated development teams can focus and achieve high-velocity release cycles. While smaller sets of features being deployed more frequently results in software velocity, they also require more infrastructure overhead.
To compete with this challenge, companies are turning to containers to develop, deploy and manage their microservice-based applications.
This white paper provides a comprehensive, practical overview of microservices and containers. It examines:
- Containerization techniques
- Key use cases
- Benefits and challenges of using containers
- The best approach for success
