The answer to the question of whether we need to implement microservices for a new project, there is likely to be no direct answer, even from experts. However, the implementation of microservices and the success of this architecture model by market leaders of innovation such as Amazon and Netflix have had many followers do the same. They started delineating modules, turning all app contexts into microservices, and connecting everything using an open network.
In these efforts, some were successful whereas others were not. In this article, we attempt to tell you to figure out the time when it is reasonable to start using microservices for your organization.
The best way to start would be one that you already know, try the monolithic version first. The most obvious method use to restructure an app would be this one. All the logic in a monolithic application is concentrated on one single process.
Read our blog “Database Design in a Microservices Architecture”.
Monolith can be easily divided into classes, modules, and functions, and the structure is simple to maintain. However, this changes with input or transactional surges when there will be numerous changes that have to be brought about. Any tweak in the classes or modules will bring the whole system to a stop. A single mistake can bring down the entire system.
In monolithic applications, scaling separate modules means changing the entire application. This is not a practical solution and goes out of hand as the requirements grow. To overcome the abovementioned problems of the difficulties encountered in maintaining a good structure in monolithic architecture models, a shift to microservices is observed to solve these problems comfortably. Microservices architecture takes its roots in Agile basics.
In microservices, the basic system is flexible and based on independent modules each of them operating on its own. If this is the organization, then it becomes easy for implementing product extension and its related development much easier. The creation of a flexible system that is based on independent separated modules, where each operates on its own, makes product extension and development much easier. Moreover, deployment is also independent, each service is owned by a separate team, and the team has the freedom to choose the technology according to the business function that is performed by the module, all of these make for a faster release process during modifications.
In microservices architecture, another critical aspect that enhances system flexibility and reliability is the circuit breaker pattern. This pattern plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the system, especially when one service fails or experiences latency. When a service becomes unresponsive or overloaded, the circuit breaker automatically "trips," preventing further calls to the failing service, and allowing the system to degrade gracefully instead of crashing entirely. This ensures that even in the event of partial failures, other independent modules can continue to function, minimizing downtime.
When using a monolithic system, you stand the risk of disrupting the functioning of other modules, if you modify another one. These problems were earlier solved by the release of newer versions. However, in a microservices system, the software design is such that any microservice will bear with changes in any other module/service.

A microservice’s most obvious advantage was the method in which the problem-solving aspect was enhanced. The methods for these are not limited to the talent of the development teams or the languages chosen for programming. the solutions are designed to enhance productivity.
A microservice’s most obvious advantage was the method in which the problem-solving aspect was enhanced. The methods for these are not limited to the talent of the development teams or the languages chosen for programming. The solutions are designed to enhance productivity. One key factor contributing to this productivity boost is microservices communication. By utilizing lightweight communication protocols such as REST or messaging queues, microservices can interact seamlessly with one another, enabling developers to focus on building individual components without being bogged down by the intricacies of a monolithic architecture.
Ultimately, the choice of microservices for a system means you are ready for change and you are open to making your product/service better in all aspects.
We believe in long-term win-win relationships with our strategic partners.
