This document summarizes a presentation about APIs and microservices. It discusses how digital companies have adopted microservices at scale due to their business models and technical foundations, while traditional enterprises face more challenges. It then demonstrates IBM API management and StrongLoop products, showing how they can help companies expose and manage APIs internally and externally. The presentation concludes by announcing a new IBM product that integrates API management and development capabilities.

IT First

14. Organisational change and enablement
• Broad education and engagement
• Engage business/commercial early and ongoing
• Engage legal, marketing, brand early and ongoing
• New roles, new teams, different ways of working
• Update Op Model
• Talent source to help define, upskill, and deliver
• Events
Well planned programmes
IT & Technology
• API Governance and Guidelines
• Continuous Delivery
• API/Data ownership
• Partnership relations and API
governance and release cycles
• New architectural components,
patterns and technologies
• Runtime and delivery
• More than an API Management
platform
Funding roadmap
• Business engagement, partner engagement,
internal engagement – and more below
• Ongoing funding beyond initial project

15. Decentralised architecture
Decentralised integration
Breaking monoliths
Changing the balance of Buy Vs Build
API First
System/App level:
• All features and functions can be accessed and controlled by APIs
• All APIs are designed to be exposed externally
Enterprise level:
• All products and services can be accessed and controlled by APIs
(e.g. browse, buy, personalise, interact)
WHAT?HOW?
Microservices

16. Microservices
for the Enterprise
Who’s using microservices?
Why?
What about traditional enterprises?

17. Microservices – it’s more than code
Traditional shared services based organisation Microservices enabled organisation
Project model Temporary teams built to fit funding cycles (e.g.
Annual plan)
No projects, backlog driven
(Or backlog-driven programme/project model)
Teams great at chunking work
Requirements Coarse grained outcomes Granular outcomes
Design Large documents spanning shared service teams Emergent / iterative
Design and test driven
Code/Build/Deploy Services highly coupled Decoupled
Test High documentation High automation
Release Coupled to deploy
Once per project
Decoupled from deploy
Frequent
When features ready
Operate/Scale Manual Control/Monitor/Scale of platforms Auto Control/Monitor/Scale of services
Decommission Complex, costly
Avoided
Rising keep-the-lights-on cost
Hot swap services in/out

19. Why are so few traditional
enterprises using microservices
at scale?
Should you?
Does your business fit the mould?
Does your business have the foundations required?

20. Text
Digital companies/divisions/teams
Multi-year sustained high growth
Colossal scale
Minimal legacy
High ratio IT investment, high appetite for risk
around developing new practices
Reliant on emergent design - unable to utilise
long plan cycles due fast evolving product
sets, customer base, or market
Traditional IT architectures are unable to flex at
colossal scale – technically or financially
Not restrained by large COTS or
otherwise inflexible systems/monoliths
Does your business fit the mould?

21. Agile funding mechanisms
Highly flexible organisational model
Granular Product Management practices
Able to govern flat, decentralised, smaller teams
Mature Continuous Delivery practices
Mature operational practices and systems
Does your business have the foundations required?
The Foundations for Microservices

22. Able to leverage and develop new technologies
Able to adopt and manage decentralised data stores
Adequate access to IT talent
Able to manage the border between traditional delivery and microservices delivery
Able to secure a larger and evolving attack surface
Does your business have the foundations required?
The Foundations for Microservices

23. Yes
Huge benefits
Agility from flexibility
Foundations in themselves are often highly valuable
Be great at continuous Delivery
Adoption risk/cost is lowering
Growing talent pool
Growing access to IP, use cases,best practices
Growing numbers of easier-to-consume tools
So is there any point in traditional enterprises looking into microservices?
Yes
Yes
Upskill in order to make informed decisions on alignment or adoption
Assess ongoing
Plan and execute the IntegrationWorks Foundations for Microservices
Manage risk – scalable budgets, delays/impacts, legacy creation….................
