Benefits and challenges of microservices as compared to DDD
There are various benefits offered by microservices in comparison to DDD. Let's have a look at them, as follows:
- Highly agile: Due to the fact that microservices are deployed independently, this makes managing fixing bugs and adding features much easier. You make changes to a microservice without redeploying the entire application, or if something goes wrong, we can roll back an update to a previous version during a deployment. In monolithic applications' deployments, if a bug is discovered during deployment, it can block the entire release, requiring the rolling back of the release. This can cause a delay in the deployment of new features. This trait of microservices being independently deployable is shared with DDD rules around how a bounded context is deployed, and they have their own code base. So, you can clearly see that by understanding DDD, you understand how microservices should be built and deployed...
