Nabor C. Mendonça, Craig Box, Costin Manolache, Louis Ryan
Abstract
Microservices have become an essential architectural enabler in cloud-based software development and delivery. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> Many organizations, from large tech companies (e.g., Google, Amazon, Netflix) to small start-ups, have adopted microservices as a best practice. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> This has served them well in some cases and, as you will see here, not so well in others.
