Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - When to Use Microservices Architecture - Best Practices

The video discusses the microservice architecture, emphasizing the importance of having a valid reason for its implementation. It compares microservices with monolithic architecture, highlighting the benefits of microservices such as independent scalability, flexibility, and ease of adding new features. The video also covers the advantages of microservices in terms of technology diversity and team autonomy, making it a suitable choice for organizations needing independent deployments and scalability.

What is a key reason to implement microservices?

• To follow the latest technology trends

• To achieve independent scalability and zero downtime

• To simplify the application architecture

• To reduce the number of developers needed

What is recommended before transitioning to microservices?

• Adopting a waterfall development model

• Using a modular monolithic architecture

• Starting with a microservices architecture

• Implementing a serverless architecture

How do microservices handle errors compared to monolithic applications?

• Errors are automatically resolved

• Errors are more frequent

• Errors are isolated to specific services

• Errors affect the entire application

What is a benefit of microservices in terms of scalability?

• Scaling is more expensive

• The entire application must be scaled

• Scalability is not a concern

• Each service can be scaled independently

Why might an organization choose microservices for data partitioning?

• To simplify data management

• To allow different services to use different database technologies

• To use a single database technology

• To avoid data storage

How do microservices support team autonomy?

• By requiring close coordination between teams

• By reducing team responsibilities

• By centralizing decision-making

• By allowing teams to make independent decisions

What is a technological advantage of microservices?

• Services can be developed using different technologies

• All services must use the same programming language

• Microservices eliminate the need for databases

• Microservices require less testing
