Before discussing microservices, it’s essential to understand what a monolithic application is. Monolithic architectures are still prevalent in many projects. However, a monolithic architecture…

Microservices architecture is advocated as an alternative to the monolithic style, offering scalability, flexibility, and independent deployment. It involves breaking down an application into multiple independent services, minimizing tight coupling and easing fault isolation. Considerations for adopting microservices include scalability needs, team expertise, and project complexity, while weighing their advantages and potential high setup costs and management complexity.

Microservices Architecture

Manage complexity and improve communication between services.

25 services for 10 users.
Nice.

Lets hope Uncle Bob doesn’t see this :D

I prefer what I call (and who knows, everyone might call it this), Micro Monoliths.
Basically, and I’ve been doing this for 30 years, I will break up a platform into services but not go stupid, like micro services does. My usual starting point is just:
<ul>
<li>User management (Auth, profiles, etc)</li>
<li>Notifications (email, reporting, etc)</li>
<li>App backend (basically everything else that needs an API)</li>
<li>App frontend (basic web server to serve UX files)</li>
</ul>
I don’t think I’ve ever needed much more than that.
I’ve gone to the extreme in both directions over the course of my career and still have to maintain a mega-monolith today. Fortunately the micro-service platforms I’ve worked on have either ceased or been scaled back more to what I just described.
If I had a thousand engineers working on one platform, sure, break it up into micro services and give small teams responsibility of a single service.
Otherwise, don’t get too worked up over micro services.

I believe that microservices architecture is an excellent choice for achieving scalability. While its implementation can be more complex, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial challenges, making it a superior solution for sustainable growth!
