Microservices come with many drawbacks. Two that I’ve noticed in practice:
- Deploying microservices is hard. The operational complexity of running and coordinating many services is significant. Each service needs its own deployment pipeline, observability and rollback story.
- Dependencies and environment requirements tend to diverge. Each team picks its own libraries, language versions and runtime images. Over time the fleet drifts and shared platform work becomes painful.
