To keep up, IT must be able to rapidly design and deliver application architectures that not only meet the business needs of the company but also meet data recovery and compliance mandates. Few CIOs would have imagined how radically their infrastructures would change over the last 10 years — and the speed of change is only accelerating.

There may be an undiscovered tribe deep in some jungle somewhere that hasn’t made up their mind on microservices, but I doubt it. People love microservices or love to hate microservices.
