Microservices technology is a new pattern of software engineering that has been popularized recently. In this video, we will explain what microservices are, their pros and cons by example. A lot of companies have moved in early 2010 such as Twitter and Netflix to the microservices architecture. In order to explain what microservices are, we need to explain how a traditional classical application looks like Microservices Pros: Polyglot architecture Easy scaling for microservices that needs scaling. Better Team management, each microservice is a team Easier to innovate certain areas. Each microservice can pick their own database Scale busy services instead of the entire system Microservices Cons: Very complicated to implement, network call, service discovery Very Difficult to debug Hard to find where the fault is Network calls fail adds complexity. ## Table of Content 0:00 Intro 01:30 Traditional Services Explained: 04:00 Microservices Example 08:00 Microservices Pros 12:20 Microservices Cons Microservices technology is a new pattern of software engineering that has been popularized recently. In this video, we will explain what microservices are, their pros and cons by example. Microservices Pros: - Polyglot architecture - Easy scaling for microservices that needs scaling. - Better Team management, each microservice is a team - Easier to innovate certain areas. - Each microservice can pick their own database - Scale busy services instead of the entire system Microservices Cons: - Very complicated to implement, network call, service discovery - Very Difficult to debug - Hard to find where the fault is - Network calls fail adds complexity.
