Microservices: Do you believe the hype?
It's easy to see the appeal of microservices architecture. It makes maintaining code easier. It's easy to understand--in that the code is restricted to just one business function. Plus, it can make IT faster and more flexible.
However, it does pose some potential risks such as complicated implementation, increased overhead, and finding specific developer talent.
