These are following benefits if you are using the microservice architecture in your application:
- Smaller code bases are easy to maintain
- Easy to scale means you can scale individual components
- Technology diversity means you can use mix libraries, frameworks, data storage, and languages
- Fault isolation means component failure should not bring the whole system down
- Better support for smaller, parallel teams
- Independent deployment
- Reduced team size also reduces the overhead associated with keeping a team focused and moving in one direction
There are several benefits to the microservices architecture approach; most of these benefits focus on reliability and agility. It also has some challenges, which we will discuss in the next section.
