Make sure you need microservices-based architecture because it comes with its own complexity - a load balancer, container networking, distributed tracing, etc.

Make sure you need microservices-based architecture because it comes with its own complexity - a load balancer, container networking, distributed tracing, etc. If you application does not need to scale its sub-components independently, you are better off using a VM-based application. It's 10X cheaper to maintain/troubleshoot and is high performance/resources.
