Benefits of Microservices, Statistics, and Real-World Examples

Image description
The use of microservices for building digital products is a new trend in the software development industry. According to recent statistics, roughly 4 out of 5 businesses already use microservices. The many benefits of microservices make this architecture type more popular compared to its ancestor, the monolithic architecture.

Microservices help develop dispersed architectures of applications. The main principle of the microservice architecture is using various services connected to an app using HTTP/HTTPS requests or API integrations.

The main advantages of microservices over the monolithic architecture are:

  • self-sufficiency
  • technical variety
  • scalability
  • high sustainability
  • continuous delivery
  • minor changes are easier to implement
  • simplified onboarding

The main goal of using microservices is to break a monolithic app into distinctive parts. Each service can be built using various technologies, updated, and scaled independently. The decentralized approach helps develop failure-proof applications.
