When Should You Consider Microservice Architecture?
Microservices are a hot trend in modern software development — but they’re not always the right choice. If you’re building a new application or scaling an existing one, you might wonder: “Should I go with microservices or stick to monolith?”
In this short article, let’s explore when microservice architecture is a good fit, what the ideal use cases look like, and when to avoid it.

🚀 Quick Intro: What Is Microservice Architecture?
Microservices is an architectural style where an application is broken into smaller, independent services, each focused on a specific business function.

- Has its own database or data source
- Runs independently
- Communicates with other services via APIs
- Can be developed, deployed, and scaled separately
Examples of microservices: authentication service, product service, payment service, etc.
