Microservices have become a buzzword in software development, but many developers have limited understanding about their advantages, drawbacks, and use cases.
Developers believe microservices enable diverse frameworks and languages, simplified maintenance, improved testing, and enhanced scalability.
The reality of microservices includes added complexity, the acknowledgment that monolithic architectures can still be suitable, and the need for nuanced decision-making based on specific use cases.
A shift in architectural thinking focuses on modularity, appropriate service granularity, and effective integration strategies rather than a strict microservices-first approach.
