Microservices are one of the most popular modern architectural approaches, but implementing them well is much more complicated than most organizations think. So what is microservices architecture, what is it for, what are microservices, and why are they much more complex than they appear at first glance?

In this episode, Dave Farley examines the costs and benefits of microservices, lists the key features that set this approach apart from others, and answers questions like "When are they a good choice?" and "When are they not?" One of the biggest problems with this useful software development approach is that many, perhaps most, organizations that try to build a microservices system don't develop microservices at all! It's more complicated than it looks!
