Microservices
The modern approach to keep up with customer demand.
What are microservices?
Microservices have been gaining momentum as an architectural and organizational approach to all software development. When leveraging this strategy, teams develop de-coupled services composed of multiple individual pieces called microservice interfaces (or APIs). These independent modules communicate via API and exchange data sources depending on what's needed by each specific function within the system at hand.  
The idea behind microservices is that they are small, independent pieces of functionality with clear boundaries. Each piece can be its package, or multiple packages could combine to create a new one-off capability for your business. Brands that want to offer their customers a seamless, omnichannel shopping experience can no longer rely on traditional platforms. Microservice architecture provides an alternative much more flexible and faster than the old rigid systems. 
Benefits of Microservices for Your Technical Team
The modern architecture of today's commerce solutions requires high-level technical agility that can only be achieved through microservices design. This allows IT teams to meet their business partners' demands quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality or performance.

Is Microservices Architecture Right for Your Business?
Microservices is a Right Fit for You if -
  • You need to be able to make changes in days, not months. 
  • You want a "best-for-me" commerce solution that you can easily integrate with your existing applications.   
  • You may have unique or complex products that require more customization than others 
Microservices are not a right fit for you if - 
  • Your digital commerce experience is stable, and you do not find yourself wishing to update them regularly.
      
  • You're able to keep up with customers' demands using a non-microservices architecture 
     
  • Reduce managing multiple vendors by having all your products come from one vendor - known in industry terms as "out of the box."
