In this short paper, Williams
et al. of the University of Michigan provide a brief technical view of microservices and how they have the potential to improve the organization and use of bioinformatics and other healthcare applications. They propose that "a well-established software design and deployment strategy" that uses micorservices framework can improve the collaborative and patient-focused efforts of researchers and laboratorians everywhere. They conclude that bioinformaticians, pathologists, and other laboratorians "can contain ever-expanding IT costs, reduce the likelihood of IT implementation mishaps and failures, and perhaps most importantly, greatly elevate the level of service" with properly implemented microservice-based versions of the software they use.
