Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 992 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Microservices improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 992 standard requirements:

  1. Does the product have a wide customer base, so its usability and quality have been tested and improved, and it is likely to stay on the market?

  2. Do your developers have the ability to implement or integrate the delivery solution through APIs to accelerate agile development?

  3. What challenges come with/do you expect will come with service mesh implementation for microservices within your organization?

  4. Can software upgrades be applied to individual microservices in a non service affecting manner by a process of rolling update?

  5. How do you correlate and capture traceability and monitoring for a single request across multiple consuming microservices?

  6. What are the existing methods and techniques to enable secure development and operation in Microservices architecture?

  7. How do you scale out the operations, the platform and begin to identify the long term unit economics that will scale?

  8. How flexible is the system to new system requirements under the assumption that the system will be developed further?

  9. What are potential consequences of lack of knowledge in teams within Kubernetes, PKI solutions and authentication?

  10. Is it clearly defined what data is processed in synchronous mode and what data is processed in asynchronous mode?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Microservices project with this in-depth Microservices Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Microservices projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in Microservices and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Microservices investments work better.

This Microservices All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
