This report discusses the importance of digital transformation for businesses and highlights the potential benefits of using microservices. According to a survey by Baker McKenzie, only 8% of companies have successfully implemented a digital transformation to change their business models. However, the report argues that this approach can serve as a catalyst for ambitious growth plans. The report uses Babbel, a language-learning app, as an example of a successful digital transformation. The founders of Babbel decided to re-write their free product and change it into a premium service. They realized that they needed to transform both the product and the culture of the business to make it successful. The report suggests that businesses should use microservices to achieve this transformation, as they allow for greater flexibility and scalability.
