That\u2019s why most products start this way. It\u2019s quick to build, simple to deploy, and easy to debug since everything sits in one place. The cracks show as the app grows. The code gets heavier, releases slow down, and if one feature gets busy, you have to scale the whole thing just to keep up. As the team grows, more people end up working in the same code, and it\u2019s easy to trip over each other\u2019s changes. One small bug in one place can bring the whole app down. And switching to a new tool or framework isn&#8217;t easy either, since changing one part often means reworking everything connected to it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-microservices-architecture\"><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW250257197 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW250257197 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">What Is Microservices Architecture?<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW250257197 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"EOP Selected SCXW250257197 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Microservices approach introduces the reverse strategy.

But as the product grew further and the team also expanded, the drawbacks of this approach became evident.

By shifting over to microservices it becomes possible to set up clear owner roles for some services, as well as deploy them independently and fast.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The bill arrived later.

There\u2019s one codebase to update, one deployment to manage, and when something breaks, you usually know where to start looking.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Microservices flip(turn) that around. Each service has its own code, its own set of dependencies, and its own release timing, so a small security fix you&#8217;d push once in a monolith might now need to go out ten separate times. Support gets trickier.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A single slow service can quietly drag down three others, and tracking the real cause means digging through logs, metrics, and traces spread across the whole system. That\u2019s why maintenance and support can\u2019t be an afterthought here.
