Conversations you need to have before moving from monoliths to microservices

Are you making the move for the right reasons?
February 09, 2021

Monoliths and microservices are just web services. Many teams are moving to microservices, but they are not all moving for the right reasons.

Contrary to what some people will tell you, microservices are not always the right decision. Sometimes, it’s more beneficial to stick with the battle-tested monoliths you already have.

But I am not here to talk you out of moving to microservices. I’ve actually helped lead two large-scale migrations to microservices in the last five years, and in both projects, one thing was clear. We could have benefited from having a few more upfront conversations about the reasons we were moving to microservices.
