Microservices.io is created by Chris Richardson, software architect, creator of the original CloudFoundry.com, and author of Microservices Patterns. Chris advises organizations on modernization, architecture, and building systems that avoid becoming modern legacy systems.

Avoid the trap of creating a modern legacy system — a new architecture with the same old problems.
