Benefits of microservice application architecture

The following are some of the benefits of the microservice architecture pattern:

• Easy to maintain: It is very easy for the developer to understand; this way, you can start development faster, which in turn makes it more productive
• Easy to scale: You can easily scale individual components
• Technology diversity: Microservices allow you to mix libraries, frameworks, data storage, and languages
• Fault isolation: Component failure should not bring the whole system down
• Better support: The architecture is suitable for smaller, parallel teams
• Independent deployment: We can easily deploy each microservice independently without impacting other microservices in the architecture

 Microservice-based architecture also has a few disadvantages, however, and we'll take a look at them in the following section.
