Today’s developers are tasked with building systems that are not only robust but also agile enough to keep up with evolving user demands. Microservices have emerged as a favorite among engineering teams to address these issues because they decompose applications into independent, manageable services. But how do they work, specifically? What can microservices architectures offer? And how can you adopt this paradigm within your application development team? 

If you want to know what microservices architectures can bring to your team, you’re in the right place. In this blog, we discuss the top benefits of microservices and how developers can easily embrace this approach.

When it comes to mission-critical applications for production environments, there is a clear shift in software development towards containerization, microservices or the mid-ground between monoliths and microservices: moduliths. These architectural patterns tend to offer better scalability, flexibility and efficiency in cloud native environments. As a result, application runtimes that have traditionally been well suited to monolithic paradigms, such as the GlassFish community project, can struggle to keep pace with modern development practices.
