Microservices are no longer only the latest buzzword, but stand for a broader development/paradigm change to Continuous Delivery, RESTful Services, and Agile Development. Teams develop independent (micro) services with a private life cycle so that new functionality is placed in a very short space of time in production. For online services such as Netflix and Spotify, this is vital to compete. 

Microservices set high standards for architecture and infrastructure: asynchronous message-based applications that are automatically deployed containerized, scaled and managed. This presentation deals with the differences between a monolith and microservices and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
