Antonios Makris, Konstantinos Tserpes, Theodora A. Varvarigou · Open Research Europe · 2022
Microservices have taken the world of software development by storm. Application developers are struggling to understand the new concepts and make the transition by the so-called ``monolithic'' application approach to microservices. This paper touches upon this delicate issue, providing a more concrete view of the developers' concerns together with recent responses to these concerns. The objective is to place the concept of microservices in the most up-to-date context and shed some light in the challenges that puzzle the developers the most while they attempt to make use of this development and design style.
