This document discusses cloud-native microservices and their role in digital innovation. It notes that microservices allow for increased speed, availability, and the ability to quickly rollback changes through abstraction, decoupling, and isolation. This enables shorter lead times, reduced dependencies on people, and self-service capabilities. Cloud-native microservices can further reduce costs and increase portability by avoiding vendor lock-in. The document also outlines new practices like latency protection, automated canary analysis, and chaos testing that are needed to support cloud-native microservices at scale.
