The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.” In its pursuit, IT teams hover over system performance dashboards hoping their preparations will deliver five nines—or even four nines—availability. How can IT teams deliver system availability under peak loads that will satisfy customers?

A microservices approach enables DevOps teams to develop an application as a suite of small services. Then, they can split these services into functional application programming interfaces (APIs), rather than shipping applications as one large, collective unit.
