Why Are Software Engineers Quitting Microservices?

Microserices: Poorer Choice for Small Teams

I’m pretty sure everyone knows why.

• Designs are complex
• Microservice is for scaling and not small projects
• Small projects are not complicated
  • monolith = coupled
    • less network traffic
    • usually better performance

Microservices has to be deploy-able without needing to test integration testing.

Microservices are:

• Small
• Focused on One Task
• Aligned with Bounded Context
• Owned by Autonomous Teams
• Independently Deployable
• Loosely-Coupled

Need to think about decentralized data management and deployment.

• Need to preserve a difference or at minimum a potential difference between its internal representation of the service and its external contract with other services.
• Slower
• Call across a network and this cost is dramatically higher than any local in process core.
