Pros & Cons of Microservices

A microservices architecture is a revolutionary step in the development of applications. Like any other technology, they have their pros and cons. The following is a summary of the strengths and vulnerabilities of a microservice, which can affect application performance and design.

Pros:

ü  Developers have the freedom to deploy and develop services independently, speeding up decision making.

ü  Due to their size and autonomy, a microservices-based approach results in shorter development cycles, because different teams can implement different services simultaneously - dependency between teams is usually eliminated.

ü  They can easily be deployed on containers, reducing overhead and portability in different environments.

ü  Enables developers to adopt modern DevOps practices such as automated CI / CD pipelines, as microservices integrate easily with CI / CD tools.

ü  Easy to scale, as each service is generally elastic.

ü  Microservices are easier to create, test and maintain.

ü  Services are organized around the company's capabilities.

Cons:

ü  A microservice architecture involves additional complexity, as developers must mitigate fault tolerance, reduce network latency, manage various programming languages, as well as load balancing across multiple services.

ü  Microservice tests can be cumbersome and complicated, due to their distributed nature.

ü  Increasing the number of microservices in an application increases the effort of efficient integration and management.

ü  Managing multiple databases can be painful.
