The world is changing. Companies now run global businesses that span the globe and hop between clouds, breaking down silos to create seamless applications that work together for the good of the organization. This continuous state of change means that legacy architectures are insufficient or unsuitable to meet the needs of the modern organization. Applications must be able to run 24×7 with 5-9s (uptime of 99.999%), as well as be superelastic, global and cloud native.
