Today’s applications need to be modified, scaled, and updated constantly to meet changing business needs. Microservices allow you to manage that flux easily and reliably. So you’re sitting on hundreds of thousands of lines of legacy C++. Oh, who are we trying to kid? It’s millions of lines of Vectran, a short-lived Fortran variant created by IBM in the ’70s. But hey, if it ain’t broke, right? Except it is broken. Anytime someone tries to add a feature, the thing breaks. Even trying to fix bugs creates more bugs. But if you just don’t touch it, it keeps on working. The problem is that innovation demands agility and velocity. All the cool companies that never had to worry about Y2K are outpacing your clunky old legacy software. Investors are demanding the next big thing. Customers are jumping ship in droves. [ The art of programming moves rapidly. InfoWorld helps you navigate what’s running hot and what’s going cold.The good news is that you’re not alone. Believe it or not, even the cool kids have faced similar problems. Netflix, eBay, Amazon, Twitter, PayPal, and more didn’t start out with beautifully architected scalable code that was fast and agile.***prbxselfnetwork***
