Why should we use microservices?

Tremendous patterns and architectures have been explored with some gaining popularity; there are others, though, that are losing the battle of internet traffic. With each solution having its own advantages and disadvantages, it has become increasingly important for companies to quickly respond to fundamental demands, such as scalability, high performance, and easy deployment. Any single aspect failing to be fulfilled in a cost-effective manner could easily impact large businesses negatively, making a big difference between a profitable and non-profitable venture.

This is where we see microservices coming to the rescue of enterprise system architects. They can ensure their designs against problems mentioned previously, with the help of this architectural style. It is also important to consider the fact that this objective is met in a cost-effective manner while respecting the time involved.
