A microservices architecture promises implementation flexibility, graceful scaling, faster delivery, and higher resiliency. But it’s an architecture model that’s too comprehensive and complex for most application development and delivery (AD&D) teams.

Enterprise leaders must recognize what these new models and frameworks mean for their long-term IT strategy, and help their developers adopt tools and capabilities that are safe and efficient.

This Forrester analyst report highlights the impact of emerging microservices trends on application development.
