Over the past decade, businesses are increasingly demanding for flexibility, agility and scalability to meet their evolving business needs with a compulsive need for a faster and efficient delivery of software. This is where Microservices comes into the IT landscape. When Microservices & NoOps were first introduced, experts had doubts regarding their complexity and the maturity that is required to power the modern applications. Today, Microservices Architecture is the common practice. “For anyone trying to be agile while delivering the applications quickly and intelligently, Microservices are the way to go,” affirms Gaurav Singh, CEO at Parkar Consulting.

The architects at Parkar Consulting believe that large, mission-critical applications need to be iterated and not reinvented and a microservice based approach reduces the risk and permits greater attention to small concerns without negatively impacting the whole architecture. Microservices combined with containers and tools like Terraform offers a plethora of benefits such as scalability where function driven computing makes it much easier to scale computing resources to meet the needs of the application, access on-demand computing and time-to-market where if one is a developer, being able to quickly have the right resources one needs to get the software ready is of significant importance. Additionally, applications running on microservice architecture can utilize unlimited computing resources.
