  Microservices architectures have become largely popular in the last years.
However, we still lack empirical evidence about the use of microservices and
the practices followed by practitioners. Thereupon, in this paper, we report
the results of a survey with 122 professionals who work with microservices. We
report how the industry is using this architectural style and whether the
perception of practitioners regarding the advantages and challenges of
microservices is according to the literature.
