Migrating to Cloud-Native Architectures Using Microservices: An Experience Report
TLDR
It is concluded that microservices is not a one-fit-all solution as it introduces new complexities to the system, and many factors, such as distribution complexities, should be considered before adopting this style, but if adopted in a context that needs high flexibility in terms of scalability and availability, it can deliver its promised benefits.
