Microservices architecture has revolutionized the software development paradigm in recent times. This is a decentralized architecture pattern that structures an application into separate, reusable services with separation of concerns. It has various advantages w.r.t.maintainability, scalability, technological flexibility and much more. These benefits would have a huge impact on a product as it would allow much quicker and cleaner release cycles. Large enterprises and mature startups/ISV’s have applications and products built using architectures and patterns which were best suited to that time. However, with the advent of cloud and various solutions/frameworks to solve targeted problems, such softwares have limitations in terms of selectively scaling on demand and integrating with advanced technologies like machine learning. Hence, these applications need to leverage the capabilities of microservices in order to keep up with the competition.
