Transitioning from monolithic applications to microservices using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) can bring better scalability, resilience, and team autonomy.
Starting with a monolithic architecture, developers face challenges such as scaling inefficiencies, deployment headaches, single points of failure, growing complexity, and technology stagnation.
By migrating to microservices, developers can decompose the monolith into smaller, independently deployable services, enabling independent scaling, development, and ownership by specific teams.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a managed Kubernetes environment that handles deployment and orchestration of containerized microservices.
