O’Reilly’s Microservices Adoption in 2020 Report Finds that 92% of Organizations are Experiencing Success with Microservices
Summary
Additionally, the survey found that teams who own the software lifecycle (building, testing, deployment and maintenance) succeed with microservices at a rate 18% higher than those who don’t. “The majority of organizations have already started to migrate their monolithic systems, applications, and architectures to microservices, and many more are looking to begin that transition,” said Mary Treseler, vice president of content strategy at O’Reilly. “Breaking a monolith into microservices has clear engineering benefits including improved flexibility, simplified scaling, and easier management – all of which result in better customer experiences.” Respondents who used containers to deploy and manage microservices were significantly more likely to report success than those who didn’t. “For some adopters, technical debt from proprietary or monolithic systems might constrain them from using containers and it might be faster and less costly, at least in the short term, to deploy microservices in a database or application server.” To view the full survey results and report, please visit: https://www.oreilly.com/radar/microservices-adoption-in-2020/.
