Each service handles a specific business capability, communicates through APIs, and can be developed, deployed, and scaled separately from the rest of the system."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do microservices differ from monolithic architectures?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In a monolithic architecture, all components are tightly integrated and deployed together, which can make scaling and updating difficult. With microservices, each component is a separate service, allowing teams to scale, update, and deploy individual parts without affecting the entire application."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the main benefits of using microservices?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Microservices enable independent deployment, better scalability, tech‑stack flexibility, fault isolation, and faster innovation. They allow teams to update or scale only the parts of the system that need change, improving reliability and reducing resource waste."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the challenges or trade‑offs with microservices?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Microservices introduce complexity in service orchestration, data consistency, communication reliability, monitoring, and infrastructure requirements. Managing many small services requires robust automation, orchestration tools, and careful design to avoid integration and operational difficulties."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"When should a team consider using microservices over a monolithic design?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Microservices are ideal when an application needs to scale, has distinct functional domains, requires frequent updates, or must support multiple technologies. If your product expects high traffic, rapid feature release cycles, or complex business logic, microservices can offer long-term flexibility and resilience."}}]},{"@id":"https://about.gitlab.com/#/schema/image/f7a6def","@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749158710/Website/Topics/img-fallback-cards-infinity.png","inLanguage":"en","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749158710/Website/Topics/img-fallback-cards-infinity.png"}]}
