Answer from AI
Implementing microservices architecture is not advisable or desirable in the following situations:
- Small or simple project. If the application is small and uncomplicated, microservices can add unnecessary complexity and overhead.
- Lack of team experience. Microservices require skills in distributed systems, orchestration, monitoring, etc. Without this, the risk of errors increases.
- High performance requirements with low latency. Calls between services over the network add delays, which can be critical.
- Limited resources for maintenance. Microservices require more effort in deployment, monitoring, and support.
- Closely related functionality. If parts of the system are highly interdependent, splitting into microservices can complicate the architecture.
In such cases, it is better to use a monolith or a simpler architecture.
