When Watts Humphrey stated that every business is a software business, organizations realized that their survival depended on software. Today, developers also need to view cybersecurity as part of their responsibilities. It’s not enough to add security as an afterthought. A global shortage of cybersecurity talent continues, with an estimated 3.4 million positions unfilled in […]
In a report on managing technical debt, Google researchers make a startling admission: “With a large and rapidly changing codebase, Google software engineers are constantly paying interest on various forms of technical debt.” What’s true of Google is very likely true of your company as well, especially if you have legacy applications you still depend […]
If your company has been in business for a decade or more with a custom application, there’s a high chance that the application’s architecture is obsolete. Ten years ago, monolithic vs. microservices architecture for business apps wasn’t much of a discussion: monolithic applications seemed to still be working well, and most IT professionals knew how […]
Monolithic and Microservices are the two architectures used most commonly today for developing enterprise software applications. Monoliths have been around for some time, but the benefits of a microservices architecture are making the latter more popular. Because of this, many companies are investing in transforming their monoliths into microservices. Monolithic is an accepted way to […]
Businesses need to respond to the needs of clients alongside evolving business conditions. As a result, many businesses that wonder what the use of microservices in Java is will find this article helpful. However, before discussing Java microservices, we need to explore microservices design concepts in general. For businesses to keep up, it is essential […]
Most enterprise software applications built until recently were monoliths. Monoliths have a huge code base and run as a single application or service. They did the job, but then developers started running into a brick wall. Monoliths were problematic to scale. No single developer could understand the entire application. Making changes, fixing bugs, and adding […]
Distributed architectures such as microservices offers several advantages over monolithic architectures. Microservices are self-contained code that can be deployed independently. Developers can focus on a few microservices rather than the entire codebase, reducing onboarding time. If a failure occurs in a microservice, it does not create a cascading failure that results in significant downtime. Indeed, […]
We’re riveted by risk. Captivated by collapses and crashes. Humans are hardwired to be fascinated with failure. This natural survival imperative can even influence our approach to the high-stakes game of application modernization, where learning or ignoring lessons from the project failures of others can determine an organization’s survival or failure. What are some of […]
The transition from a monolith to microservices has become popular in the digital world because of its multiple benefits, including business agility, flexibility, and elimination of barriers associated with monolithic applications. You can enjoy these benefits by refactoring a monolith application to microservices. And here, we explore the benefits of refactoring a monolith to microservices […]
Cloud computing has led to cloud-native architectures which allow organizations to access and utilize services that can efficiently scale and rapidly adapt to new business requirements. The use of containers, microservices, and cloud computing has enabled organizations to save time and gain agility they would have otherwise spent maintaining legacy solutions. Microservice architecture for cloud-native […]
