Introduction to Microservices
Everything through Module 17 lived in one deployable application. This module is the decision to split it apart — and, honestly, why you often shouldn't rush into it.
Learning objectives
- Beginner: State the core trade-off microservices make compared to a monolith (independent deployability versus operational complexity).
- Intermediate: Reason about where to draw a service boundary for a given feature, rather than splitting arbitrarily by technical layer.
- Advanced: Recognize when splitting into microservices is premature for a given team/system size, and argue for staying a monolith a while longer.
