Organizations across industries are at various stages of their journey toward adopting a microservices architecture style. Microservice architecture style is one of the prominent and relevant design approaches for developing cloud-native systems, and we strongly consider that our clients apply this style in distributed systems development.
However, while the benefits delivered by a microservices architecture such as agility, selective scalability and availability still hold true, we are dismayed by the various suboptimal implementations of microservices architectures that have emerged since our initial take on the topic.
Pitfalls and challenges along the way tend to result in sub-optimal applications of this architecture style, leading to an environment in which teams start to think that microservices is yet another adopted fad. The additional complexity in operations of and troubleshooting these systems creates further issues.
Hence, we highly recommend keeping an eye on these pitfalls and proactively addressing the challenges so that microservices benefits can be effectively achieved. Wherever any of these pitfalls or challenges result in tactical decision-making, we should ensure that such exceptions are handled though a proper technical debt-management mechanism.
This white paper provides readers with guidance on fundamental design decisions required to properly implement a microservices architecture to realize all the benefits available to organizations willing to take the plunge.
Whether it’s migrating the entire core infrastructure to one or more cloud service providers, aka hyperscalers, or just simplifying a handful of processes using Software as a Service (SaaS) tools, the cloud represents the digital future. The pandemic has accelerated the ongoing cloud adoption and during 2021, 51% of Nordic organizations are predicted to reach IDC’s highest level of cloud maturity.
To get ahead in the industrial space amid the prolonged pandemic, manufacturers must embrace holistic agility and resilience, and democratize access to applications and data. This whitepaper provides a roadmap ahead.
Covid-19 served as a wake-up call to manufacturers – one that has accelerated the need for digitalization. To find out what technology investments will propel manufacturers forward, we conducted ESI ThoughtLab. Learn more in our e-Book.
Artificial intelligence is a broad field that holds a great potential. It already impacts how businesses operate across industries. In this guide, we put AI in a Nordic context on basis of 975 leaders’ AI insights.
Global businesses are experiencing major disruptions driven by digitalization, and the HR departments are at the front line. What will HR of the future look like? Will operational tasks to be taken over by robots? How can outsourcing of HR processes empower a more strategic approach? Download our whitepaper with a focus on HR in the Nordics.
Responding to changing customer expectations, higher operating costs, new technology and an evolving regulatory landscape, Financial Services organisations now also face the uniquely challenging environment created by COVID-19.
Digitalization, upstart competitors, the need for breakneck speed and agility, and an increasingly diverse and demanding workforce require more from leaders than what most can offer. Check out our new survey with 4,394 global leaders.
