Yeah they were a way to handle databases that couldn't scale horizontally. You could move business logic out of the database/SQL and into Java/Python/TypeScript app servers you could spin up. Now that we have databases like BigQuery and CockroachDB we don't need to do this anymore.
- thesnide 3y agoIf you plan to scale horizontally with a microservice strategy, you'll in a lot of pain. As if you have say 100x more customers, will you divide your application in 100x more services? As others said, microservices scale manpower, not performance. It only comes sometimes as a bonus.
