The Problem With Microservices

 

Microservices are one of the most popular modern architectural approaches, but they are much more complicated to do well than most organisations think. So what is Microservices Architecture, what is it for, what are Microservices and why are they a lot more complex than they look on the surface? In this episode Dave Farley will explore the costs, and benefits, of microservices listing the key features that distinguish this approach from others and answers questions like "When are they a good choice” and "when are they not?”. One of the biggest problems with this useful software development approach is that many, maybe most, organisations that try to build a microservices system, aren’t building microservices at all! It is more complicated than it looks!
