Choosing the right methodology
Ensure that you have used agile practices for your microservices application, as this comes with lots of benefits. The basic idea behind choosing a microservices architecture, along with many other benefits, is embracing change.
The Twelve-Factor app methodology provides the guidelines for building scalable, maintainable, and portable applications by adopting key characteristics of immutability, ephemerality, declarative configuration, and automation. Incorporating these characteristics and avoiding common anti-patterns will help us build loosely coupled and self-contained microservices.
Implementing these guidelines will help us build cloud-native applications that are independently deployable and scalable. In most cases, failed attempts at microservices are not due to complex design or code flaws but to incorrectly setting the fundamentals from the start by ignoring widely accepted methodologies.
