A containerized, microservices architecture is the most widespread design pattern, currently being tested by two-thirds of banking survey respondents (66%). Some of these are continuing to test the possibilities, others are starting to put them into production. 44% of survey respondents have some containerized architecture in production at present. Kafka and message queuing technologies are also being tested amongst almost half of survey respondents, with about a quarter already moving to production use cases. Load balancing technologies like NGINX and serverless are also seeing testing and production-level adoption. While not quite making it to production usage yet, GraphQL is being tested by 21% of survey respondents. 24 State of the Market report 2018
