Explaining Microservices: No Nonsense Guide for Decision Makers

Jakarta EE

We’ve got a new guide for you – and it’s a bit of a departure from our more technical content. 

Instead, we spell out what the term ‘microservices’ encompasses, for those who might not be familiar with the technology.

With the help of infographics, diagrams, digestible bullet points and even a Microservices vs. Monolithic FactFile, we explain:

  • Microservices: The Basics 
  • Microservices = Cloud-native?
  • Why You Might Choose Microservices
  • Why You Might Decide NOT to Choose Microservices
  • Potential Pitfalls (Wildcard: CAP Theory!)
  • Jakarta EE & Microservices (Hello MicroProfile!)

Pass it on to your bosses to show why it might be useful, or alternatively, why it ISN’T a silver bullet.
