Summary

The shift from monolithic to microservices development has revolutionized the way applications are built, allowing for faster deployment, scaling, and maintenance. This change was driven by the need for more complex and scalable applications that could handle exponentially increasing user demands. Microservices development breaks down applications into smaller independent units, providing flexibility, scalability, and easier management. However, it also introduces challenges such as data sprawl, which can lead to problems with data movement, security, and compatibility. To address these challenges, multimodel databases have emerged, offering a unified data management system that supports multiple data models within a single backend. This allows for improved efficiency, memory performance, and scalability, making it an attractive option for organizations looking to future-proof their applications.
