The challenges that one has to face while using microservices can be both functional and technical as given below:
Functional Challenges:
- Require heavy infrastructure setup.
- Need Heavy investment.
- Require excessive planning to handle or manage operations overhead.
Technical Challenges:
- Microservices are always interdependent. Therefore, they must communicate with each other.
- It is a heavily involved model because it is a distributed system.
- You need to be prepared for operations overhead if you are using Microservice architecture.
- To support heterogeneously distributed microservices, you need skilled professionals.
- It is difficult to automate because of the number of smaller components. For that reason, each component must be built, deployed, and monitored separately.
- It is difficult to manage configurations across different environments for all components.
- Challenges associated with deployment, debugging, and testing.
