We all know that testing and deploying software is a complex and time-consuming process. Can containerized microservices help? Maybe — here’s what to know…

Developing or improving apps using “microservices” — isolated and specific parts or functions of apps or software — is efficient and effective for many software development organizations. However, every company struggles with developing, testing, and deploying Microservices regularly and with as few hiccups as possible. This is where containerized microservices can be helpful.

Containerization is the perfect complementary development practice for microservices. According to a 2018 survey, more than 64% of surveyed companies are adopting microservice architectures. If leveraged properly, containerization is an attribute because it helps you develop and operate microservices. But on the flip side, it also makes server provisioning and data storage a little more complex.

Therefore, organizations should only start using containerization for microservice development after fully analyzing the pros and cons, the challenges, and creating a strategy for overcoming the challenges in the future. Today, I’ll break each of these elements down in detail and explore potential strategies your company can use to implement containerized microservice development successfully.

Let’s hash it out.
