In this episode, we jump head-first into the ongoing battle between monolithic applications, microservices and container-based solutions. We explore the challenges and opportunities of transitioning from monoliths to  microservices and containers, we weigh the pros and cons of each approach. We give you more than a few insights and real-world examples, and discuss best practices for a successful migration process.  Hopefully, by the end of this episode you'll be able to see where some of the problems are, as re-factoring apps to work as microservices/in containers isn't an easy thing to do if done properly.
