Microservices

What is Microservices?

Microservices is a cloud-native architectural approach in which a single application is a collection of services that are:

• Loosely coupled and autonomously deployable smaller services.
• Services that communicate with one another over a combination of integration with APIs.
• Organized by business capability separated by services.
• Services that have their own technology stack.

What are the challenges associated with microservices architecture?

• Moving from monolith to microservices architecture creates a lot of management complexity- more services created by many teams, deployed in several places.
• Inconsistency and compatibility issues due to voluminous data used for monitoring and problem resolution.

What are the benefits of microservices?

• It helps an organization in the evolution of its technology stack.
• It ensures agility by enabling rapid and reliable delivery of large and complex applications frequently.
• It facilitates speed through independently deployable services.
• It enables precise scaling of only the required components instead of the entire application in the case of monolithic applications.
