Death By a Thousand Microservices

Microservices are cool right?

I love microservices as much as as the next architect. Microservices are the current thing, if you build a modern cloud native app, most of the time its a microservice, its what all the cool kids are doing.

What is a Microservice

Feel free to skip this if you know, just level-setting for everyone. Microservices architecture is a method of developing software systems that are divided into a collection of smaller, autonomous services. Each microservice is self-contained and implements a specific business function. They communicate with each other using well-defined APIs. This approach enables easier scaling, better fault isolation, and faster development cycles since teams can update services independently of the rest of the system.
