The Brutal Truth : Microservices are not a bandage for bad design
If your code is a mess in one project, it will be a disaster in ten.
🔹Monolith mess: One big headache.
🔹Microservices mess: A dozen headaches connected by a slow network.
Many developers think microservices will magically organize their work. It’s actually the opposite. You’ll spend more time:
🔹Fixing network bugs.
🔹Managing 10 different databases.
🔹Wishing you had stayed with one simple project.
Microservices come with a “Complexity Tax.” To pay it, you need:
🔹Perfect boundaries.
🔹Strong automation.
🔹Excellent discipline.
If your current monolith is a “big ball of mud,” moving to microservices is just moving the mud around.
The Golden Rule: If you can’t keep one kitchen clean, don’t try to run a restaurant chain.
The Lesson: You don’t have a scaling problem. You have a “clean code” problem. Fix your boundaries before you split your app.
