" summary

Hani Suleiman examines the practical downsides of migrating to microservices by stepping through concrete operational concerns—logging, high availability/disaster recovery, monitoring, provisioning, security, failure modes, and debugging—and contrasts the idealized benefits with the real-world costs. He names common enterprise frameworks and patterns and offers a reality-check approach to deciding when microservices are appropriate.
