Microservices Architecture
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Microservices architecture is a software development approach that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services, developed and deployed independently.
Key Features
- Decomposition of application into small services
- Independent deployment and scaling of services
- Resilience to failure of individual services
- Loose coupling between services
Pros
- Scalability: Allows for easy scaling of individual services without affecting the entire application
- Flexibility: Each service can be developed using different technologies or languages
- Resilience: Failure in one service does not bring down the entire application
Cons
- Complexity: Managing a large number of services can introduce complexity in monitoring, debugging, and testing
- Communication Overhead: Services need to communicate over networks which can introduce latency and potential failure points
