The microservices architecture pattern is a method to develop applications that are composed of smaller applications, each of which is developed as a small service and has independent lifecycle management. These smaller services are loosely coupled together to form a larger application. When you consider whether an application should use microservices architecture, you should carefully evaluate whether it makes sense for the smaller functions to exist as independent microservices. Since each of the constituent micorservices in a microservices-based application has its own lifecycle management, you will have DevOps for each of the services managed independently.

One of the things you need to consider before you break your application down into microservices is the granularity required. Breaking it down into too many granular units would increase the operations overhead, while breaking it down into too few units would increase the application...
