Microservices architecture provides flexibility and scalability, but it demands careful management of DevOps processes such as CI/CD, monitoring, and logging to maximize its advantages. While the initial perception of microservices in 2016 was that of a buzzword, many organizations now benefit from transitioning away from monolithic applications, despite the challenges that microservices can introduce. This architectural style allows for independently deployable services that offer greater flexibility and cleaner overall architecture, although adapting existing frameworks or selecting new ones remains crucial for successful implementation. Various frameworks support microservices development, including Jakarta EE, Spring, Lagom, Dropwizard, and others like Vertx and Spotify Apollo, each with its own strengths and considerations. The choice of framework should align with the application's specific needs, and while microservices offer new possibilities, they require a balance of innovation and diligence in operational practices to ensure continued production support.
