Pros and cons of microservices
In order to understand how to get the best results from using microservices and which issues to be aware of, let’s review the pros and cons of the microservice model.
Benefits of microservices
As previously described, different application components may have fundamentally different requirements and, at certain points, diverge so much that it would be beneficial to separate them. In this case, microservice architecture provides a clear solution by decoupling the parts of the system.
Microservices provide the following benefits to developers:
- Faster compilation and build time: Faster build and compilation time may play a key role in speeding up all development processes.
- Faster deployments, smaller deployable size: When each part of the system is deployed separately, the deployable size can get so significantly smaller that individual deployments can take just a fraction of the time compared to monolithic applications...
