SBP 15 – if it doesn’t fit, don’t force it; use a microservice
If an application or process outgrows the operational parameters of its current environment, it should not be constrained by force. Instead, microservice architecture offers a scalable solution. In this section, you’ll learn how to discern PaaS limitations and the strategic deployment of microservices to extend, enhance, and evolve the capabilities of your software solutions. We’ll explore the indicators for when to make this shift, how to implement it effectively, and the potential pitfalls to avoid, ultimately guiding you toward making informed decisions in the complex interplay between PaaS services and microservices.
PaaS and its boundaries
PaaS provides a wealth of resources to streamline application deployment, yet it has its operational boundaries. Understanding these limitations is crucial as they often delineate the sandbox within which developers can play. This introduction...
