Seasoned Senior Software Engineers often encounter significant challenges when implementing Microservices Architecture. Initial enthusiasm can give way to difficulties, particularly when releasing new features or managing performance and latency due to service interdependencies. Identifying and addressing issues such as inadequate service boundaries, excessive synchronous communication, overly fine-grained services, service coupling, and shared code without versioning are critical to preventing the creation of a Distributed Monolith.
Table of contents
A Distributed Monolith occurs when an architecture exhibits unfavorable traits of both Distributed System Architecture and Monolithic Architecture. It entails excessive interdependencies among services to fulfill a business use case and mandates simultaneous deployment of multiple services to introduce new features or address complex bugs.Factor #1 — Inadequate Service BoundaryFactor #2 — Too Much of Synchronous CommunicationMicroservices Communication : Synchronous or AsynchronousFactor #3 — Too Many Fine Grained ServicesFactor #4 — Service CouplingFactor #5 — Shared code without VersioningMicroservices Architecture : Shared Functionality — Library or Service !!!Sort:
