Benefits of Microservices Architecture

Here you can find list of benefits about using Microservices Architectures:

Agility, Innovation and Time-to-market

Flexible Scalability

Small, focused teams

Small and separated code base

Easy Deployment

Technology agnostic, Right tool for the job

Resilience and Fault isolation

Data isolation

Microservices Architecture

Challenges of Microservices Architecture

Microservices has significant benefits but also has significant challenges. Moving from monolith to microservices means a lot more management complexity. Here are some of the challenges we need to consider before applying to microservices architecture.

Complexity

Distributed System

Network problems and latency

Development and testing

Data integrity

Deployment

Deployments also a challenge, at least in initial set up. In order to make deployment easier, you must first invest in quite a lot of devops automation processes and tools. Because the complexity of microservices becomes overwhelming for human deployment. Think about how you’re going to roll services out and in what order.

Logging & Monitoring

With distributed systems, you need centralized logs to bring everything together. Otherwise, the scale is impossible to manage. It’s critical to have a centralized view of the system to monitor sources of problems.

Debugging

Remote debugging through your local integrated development environment (IDE) isn’t an option and it won’t work across dozens or hundreds of services. Unfortunately there’s no single answer to how to debug at this time.
