According to our 2022 Microservices survey, 93% of our developer respondents work for an organization that runs microservices. This number is up from 74% when we asked this question in our 2021 Containers survey. With most organizations running microservices and leveraging containers, we no longer need to discuss the need to adopt these practices, but rather how to scale them to benefit organizations and development teams. 

So where do adoption and scaling practices of microservices and containers go from here?

In DZone’s 2022 Trend Report on Microservices and Containerization, we leverage our research and expert contributors to dive into various cloud architecture practices, leverage microservice orchestration techniques, focus on security, and offer advice on design principles. The goal of this Trend Report is to explore the current state of microservices and containerized environments to help developers face the challenges of complex architectural patterns.
