Cloud-Native ApplicationsMicroservices implemented with Containers

IBM Confidential

An engineering approach focused on decomposing an application into single-function modules with well defined interfaces which are independently deployed and operated by a small team who owns the entire lifecycle of the service.

Microservices accelerate delivery by minimizing communication and coordination between people while reducing the scope and risk of change.
