Benefits of microservices architectures
1. Benefits of microservices architectures
Developing your applications as microservices has many benefits. One obvious benefit of microservices is that each microservice is simpler than the large, monolithic application. Each microservice has a smaller and simpler codebase, which generally allows for a single, small team to focus on the internal details of that microservice. It's easier for the members of that team to understand the microservice and update it without causing issues in other parts of the application. Microservices are typically easier to unit test, because there are clear boundaries between different services. Microservices are also separately deployable, which allows teams to update their microservices on their own schedules. Other microservices are only affected when a breaking change is made to the interface of a microservice. These traits of microservices lead to more agile development, because microservices can be separately updated and deployed without affecting other services. Another benefit is that microservices can use different programming languages and technologies. Microservices connect using an API interface. The programming languages, frameworks, and technologies used by the microservice code do not affect calling services. A team can choose the languages and technologies that best suit their service. Microservices running on one platform can also connect to microservices running on a different platform. Microservices, which typically connect using HTTP APIs, can call each other without worrying about where the service is located. A third benefit of microservices is the ability to separately scale microservices. Each microservice can be scaled separately, dedicating more resources only to those services that require more capacity. Microservices are typically easy to scale up and down based on fluctuations in traffic. Instead of building the infrastructure required when the load is highest, the infrastructure, and therefore cost, can be optimized based on the current traffic requirements.2. Let's practice!
