Microservices are small services that model a domain, should be autonomous, and hide implementation details. They’re built using simple, vendor-agnostic protocols.

In essence, they encapsulate a specific piece of your system’s functionality.

This concept requires a mature team and organization. You shouldn’t start with microservices if:

You don’t have experience working with a monolith

Your team isn’t ready for distributed development

You lack the infrastructure needed to support microservices

Service boundaries haven’t been clearly defined

There’s no clear understanding of how services will interact

Microservices aren’t a silver bullet — they’re a tool that should be used wisely, and only when truly necessary.
