While there are numerous benefits, enterprises must also be mindful of potential challenges:
Microservices architecture is transforming how enterprises develop and deploy applications, particularly in sectors where responsiveness and scalability are paramount. By adopting this architecture, South African companies can significantly enhance their operational capabilities, foster innovation, and maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly digital marketplace.
