Recommendation

As organizations strive for greater agility, their software development teams often turn to microservices for flexibility and efficiency. Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, among many tech supergiants, have been leaving their monolithic structures behind and are moving to microservices architectures. For executives looking toward their own transition, a team at the Boston Consulting Group offers a clear, authoritative introduction to the technology.

Take-Aways

  • Microservices consist of small, self-contained, reusable blocks of code.
