Use DevOps software and tools to build, deploy and manage cloud-native apps across multiple devices and environments. Attempting to do microservices without either proper deployment and monitoring automation, or managed cloud services to support your now sprawling, heterogenous infrastructure, is asking for a lot of unnecessary trouble. Put another way, while it\u2019s not impossible to roll your own microservices infrastructure, it\u2019s not advisable, especially when just starting out. Where serverless architectures and functions-as-a-service platforms share affinity with microservices is that they are both interested in creating smaller units of deployment and scaling precisely with demand. And while an API call is often an effective way of initially establishing state for a specific service, it\u2019s not an effective way of staying up to date. Among these technologies are API management platforms, but if the microservices architecture is being implemented using containers and Kubernetes, the gateway is typically implemented using Ingress or, more recently, Istio.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
