There are easily adoptable solutions that can increase your applications efficiency and performance and your user's productivity by orders of magnitude. Then why is it so hard to gain adoption of what is obviously superior? Or "What I learned migrating from a large, monolithic, legacy service to an API-First cloud-capable application."
