Summary
Carl and Brandon delve into the fascinating world of microservices, starting with a brief introduction and a comparison to macro-services like monolithic and modular monolith architectures. We explored the evolution from monolithic architectures to microservices, highlighting the advantages such as scalability, agility, resilience, and technology diversity. We also discussed the granular scalability of individual services, the independent development and deployment of services, and the use of different technologies for each service.
However, we didn’t shy away from the challenges, addressing the increased complexity, operational overhead, and resource consumption associated with managing distributed systems.
