Organizations are shifting to modern application solutions to increase the agility of their business and enhance the quality of customer and employee experiences. Several industry drivers are forcing this shift, including:


Although moving to microservices enables organizations to accelerate their application projects, it is challenging to maintain data persistence and data integrity without complex changes in application code.

Although Kubernetes-based applications can reduce complexity in managing large-scale deployments and increase resource consumption, it is difficult to scale data infrastructure to keep up with demand.

Ensuring seamless CI/CD requires zero-downtime application changes, automated database provisioning, and familiar developer tools.

It is difficult to enable business-critical workloads to run on a horizontally scalable and distributed system while delivering the same transactional consistency and reliability as a mainframe.
