Cloud-native deployment options: A review of container, serverless, and microservice implementations (sponsored by IBM)

Whether youre modernizing an application monolith or developing a new cloud-native application, it's no longer a question of whether or not to use microservices. Instead, the challenge facing many architects is deciding what technologies to use in their applications. Andrew Hately details the best combination of cloud services and tools to use to get the right results.

Innovative digital and mobile experiences are driving pressure on traditional architecture. Whether you’re modernizing an application monolith or developing a new cloud-native application, it’s no longer a question of whether or not to use microservices, since not doing so eventually leads to business failure. Instead, the challenge facing many architects is deciding what technologies to use in their applications. Many of the technologies and architectures that are being defined and standardized for cloud-native and microservices, such as Kubernetes and Apache OpenWhisk, are coming from open source communities. While early implementations were largely in web-scale internet companies, there is now broader adoption across multiple industries and for many new applications. These cloud-native technologies are defining standards across multiple cloud providers. Andrew Hately details the best combination of cloud services and tools to use to get the right results.
