Moving to Microservices

Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architecture for the API Academy at CA Technologies, explains to John Biggs, Tech Journalist, how microservices enable autonomy for software developers. Microservices are independent and autonomous bits of software that are changing the way companies of all sizes create apps. Amundsen explains that microservice architecture can speed the rate at which developers are able to incorporate feedback into their work and turn ideas into reality.
