Abstract: The concept of microservices is not new. The notion of breaking down traditional monolithic application program interfaces (APIs) into much smaller, business task-focused services is something that has been embraced by many industries. The media industry is just beginning to realize the benefits of this approach, particularly with the move to cloud-based services. We will look at why microservices are now emerging as a hot topic for media, where they make sense, and how standardization within SMPTE can help to leverage this trend for the benefit of the industry at large.
