Microservices architecture breaks applications into small, independent services. Understanding when and how to use microservices is crucial for building scalable systems.
Benefits of Microservices
Microservices offer benefits including independent deployment, technology diversity, scalability, and fault isolation. Each service can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently, allowing teams to work autonomously and use the best technology for each service.
Challenges and Considerations
Microservices introduce complexity including distributed system challenges, service communication overhead, and data consistency issues. They require robust DevOps practices, monitoring, and service discovery mechanisms. Not all applications benefit from microservices architecture.
When to Use Microservices
Consider microservices for large, complex applications with multiple teams, varying scalability needs, and different technology requirements. Start with a monolith and extract services as needed, rather than beginning with microservices from the start.
