Microservices Complexity — Five Mantras To Manage
Microservices architecture has many benefits but at the same time it creates complex implementations. In this article I am going to discuss key mantras which enable us to deal with it.
Overview
With the microservices architecture, we get many benefits. Technology independence, ease of testing, ease of deployment, improved scalability, reusability, maintainability and much more. Complete autonomy of the microservices enable the teams to develop, test and release their code independently. But the benefits do not come easy…
The architecture adds more variables in the system. We get more services to manage, more hosts to manage, more technologies to manage. And on top of that the service interactions, which needs so many additional patterns, technologies, etc. All this adds up to more complexity. As an enterprise, team and individuals, we must learn to manage this complexity well. If not, we might be creating more problems than solutions.
In this article I am going to discuss five mantras we must follow to deal with microservices complexity.
