Microservices Architecture

Understanding microservices patterns and trade-offs.

When to Use Microservices

  • Large, complex applications
  • Independent scaling needs
  • Different technology stacks per service
  • Team autonomy requirements

Challenges

  • Service communication complexity
  • Distributed system debugging
  • Data consistency across services
  • Deployment orchestration

Not always the right choice - start with monolith if unsure.
