This document discusses how microservices, continuous delivery, and DevOps relate and solve problems together. Microservices break applications into independently deployable components, continuous delivery incorporates automated testing and deployment pipelines, and DevOps emphasizes collaboration between development and operations teams. Together, these approaches enable faster and more reliable software releases by allowing components to be deployed independently while maintaining overall system integrity through practices like monitoring and common infrastructure standards. They also allow alternative approaches to challenges like maintainability and scalability by facilitating fast feedback loops and the ability to quickly identify and address bottlenecks.
