Listing the benefits of microservices
We have already learned about a significant benefit of microservices – reducing the overall waiting time for the user experience. But luckily, microservices have more benefits that justify our effort to apply them in our applications:
- Scalability: Microservices can be scaled up by running as many instances as our hardware or virtual resources allow
- Flexibility: Microservices make it easier to adopt new technologies and languages for different parts of your application, enabling flexibility in technology choices
- Resilience: A failure in one microservice typically doesn’t affect an entire application, enhancing fault tolerance and resilience
- Maintenance: Microservices have smaller code bases, which are easier to understand and maintain
- Self-contained: Each microservice can run in its own optimized technology stack
- Loosely coupled: Microservices are independent of each other and can be built, maintained, and...
