Building a microservices-based application requires a wide range of tools and technologies. Since these tools/technologies work together like a multi-faceted puzzle, it’s difficult for a beginner to understand what they are and why they’re necessary. The goal of this guide is to provide an accessible introduction to each of these essential concepts – all in one place.

In today's evolving technology landscape, businesses are increasingly recognizing the potential of migrating legacy systems to the cloud. Even though they are the backbone of many organizations, legacy systems and services deployed via on-premises servers often need help to keep up with modern business requirements. Cloud migration offers a transformative opportunity to enhance scalability, flexibility, and efficiency, while enabling access to a wealth of innovative services.

Energy and utilities providers are currently facing more uncertainty than ever before. Volatile prices, geopolitical instability, new technologies and more demands for going green are threatening the future of the entire industry. As a result, their IT teams are under tremendous pressure to start powering digital transformation through productivity improvements, capital efficiencies and development of new revenue streams.

Frequent deployment of APIs can quickly create a software system that is like an overgrown garden, riddled with weeds, bugs, failed integrations, and ill-fitting use cases. Overloaded API collections prevent changes without causing failures. More commonly, they limit the visibility needed to recognize opportunities for feature optimization. Creating a successful API can go a long way to ensuring your organization can avoid many of these problems.

In the past, enterprise software focused on protecting network access through on-premises firewalls and VPNs, working on the assumption that everything within the network was secure. However, today, as accessing data has extended beyond on-premises locations to cloud and hybrid networks, SaaS platforms require a security model that can address a broader range of attack vectors. Zero Trust security addresses this pressing need.

In software development, an API-first approach has emerged as a powerful methodology for building robust and interoperable systems. An API, or Application Programming Interface, acts as a set of rules and protocols that enables different software applications to communicate with each other. It defines how different software components should interact and exchange data.
