Cloud State Of Play - September 2024

[@CloudTherapist]

Microservices have certainly faced some criticism lately, such as: * Too Noisy: Microservices can become noisy due to their extensive inter-service communications. Lots of small services communicating frequently can lead to a noisy network, affecting performance and making debugging harder. * Not Best for All Scenarios: Absolutely. Microservices work wonders for large, complex applications needing scalability and flexibility. But for smaller, simpler applications, they can be overkill, adding unnecessary complexity. * Complexity and Cost: Breaking down an app into microservices often requires more infrastructure (e.g., multiple databases, load balancers). This can escalate costs in cloud environments due to increased resource usage and management overhead.
