2. Easy Deployment: Microservices reduce
the size of changes, making it easy to try
out new ideas and to roll back if something
doesn't work.
3. Technological Freedom: Microservices
architectures give teams the freedom to
choose the best tools to create each part of
an application.
4. Scalability: Microservices allow each service
to be independently scaled to meet demand
for the application feature it supports.
5. Resilience: Microservices reduce the impact
of failure to a single part of the application.
This means any individual component failure
only degrades functionality instead of crashing
the entire application.
6. Reusable Code: Dividing software into
small, well-defined service components
enables teams to use these service components
for multiple purposes within an application.
This allows an application to build off itself,
as developers can create new capabilities
by leveraging existing services via their APIs
without writing code from scratch or having to
deal with implementation details.

The microservices advantage
Modern Applications: Microservices architectures
Microservices architectures are built with
discrete, modular elements that work together.
While this modularity does come with the
challenge of increased code "surface area,"
it also offers key advantages for innovating
faster; scaling independently; reducing the
impact of failures; and allowing for distributed
code development.
1. Agility: A small team that's working on an
individual service component is freed from
the constraints of other components and thus
can be more nimble and respond to issues or
opportunities faster.
