Have you considered using microservice architecture in designing a new product?

Answer from AI

Microservice architecture involves dividing an application into independent services, each responsible for its own business function and capable of developing, scaling, and deploying separately. When designing a new product, consider microservices if:

  • High scalability and flexibility are required.
  • The development team is distributed and can work in parallel on different services.
  • Frequent updates to individual parts of the system are planned.

However, microservices add complexity to management, communication between services, and require a well-thought-out infrastructure (e.g., orchestration, monitoring).

If the product is small or has simple requirements, it might be better to start with a monolith and then switch to microservices if necessary.
