Microservices architecture simplifies application development by breaking it into smaller, independent services. However, isolated databases in microservices complicate data sharing. Introducing a central database with technologies like materialized views can mitigate these challenges by enabling efficient, consistent data sharing. This approach offers benefits such as simplified system design and reduced implementation effort but also introduces issues like coupling and resource contention. Solutions involve using stable interfaces with database views, optimizing data access with materialized views, and isolating workloads through shared storage.
