intermediateIntroduction to Spring Cloud & Distributed Systems Challenges
What problems does a monolith never have to solve that a microservices system suddenly does?
Knowing where a dependency currently lives (services move/restart), handling a partially-failed or slow network call, keeping configuration consistent across many services, tracing one request across service boundaries, and keeping data consistent when a business operation spans multiple databases — none of these exist when everything is one process with one call stack and one database transaction.
