APIs, Microservices & Agile

Originally written on Jan 2019 (Updated 2020)

During isolation there's plenty of time to dedicate to own interests and to look back to what has been achieved. 

Today I would like to share my success story around digital transformation and the technologies and methodologies I have been using with my team for the last 5 years.   

I think the topic around Agile, APIs and Microservices is key for new software development teams. Following similar approach my team was able to move from a very static and full of technical debt environment to a new (not so new anymore) way to deliver new services. There have been many challenges on the way and we still are far from perfection but the team was able to break from the past and move forward with innovative solutions by keeping the right balance between APIs, Microservices and Agile practise. Key to success , good communication, continuous Integration and Automation. Of course all possible with the help of top notch developers. 

P.S. Obviously the 3 topics don't need each other to be implemented.
