I often see teams adopting microservices for all the wrong reasons.

Here are three of the most common yet misguided reasons for adopting the microservice architecture.

1. Modern applications are built with microservices

Just because a technology is modern and popular does not mean it is the right choice for your application. You should choose an architectural style based on your application's requirement.

2. Applications built for the cloud should use microservices

The choice between a monolith and microservices should be driven by the application’s non-functional requirements, not the deployment environment.

3. Microservices are a magic pixie dust

Microservices are not a magic pixie dust that will solve all your problems. Before jumping to microservices as a solution, first analyze the root cause of the problem: performance, slow development, etc.

Sorry, this is off topic, I know. But these AI generated pictures/illustrations are just horrible (have been guilty of this myself).
Entirely agree that these are not valid reasons to go for micro services btw.
