Non Scalable Design vs Microservices
Developers should consider Non Scalable Design when building minimal viable products (MVPs), proof-of-concepts, or tools for a small, known user base where rapid deployment and low initial costs are critical meets developers should learn microservices when building large-scale, complex applications that require high scalability, frequent updates, or team autonomy, such as e-commerce platforms, streaming services, or enterprise systems. Here's our take.
Non Scalable Design
Developers should consider Non Scalable Design when building minimal viable products (MVPs), proof-of-concepts, or tools for a small, known user base where rapid deployment and low initial costs are critical
Non Scalable Design
Nice PickDevelopers should consider Non Scalable Design when building minimal viable products (MVPs), proof-of-concepts, or tools for a small, known user base where rapid deployment and low initial costs are critical
Pros
- +It is useful in scenarios with strict deadlines, limited resources, or when the application's scope is fixed and unlikely to grow, such as one-off scripts or internal dashboards
- +Related to: scalability, system-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Microservices
Developers should learn microservices when building large-scale, complex applications that require high scalability, frequent updates, or team autonomy, such as e-commerce platforms, streaming services, or enterprise systems
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in cloud-native environments where services can be independently scaled and deployed, reducing downtime and improving fault isolation
- +Related to: api-design, docker
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Non Scalable Design if: You want it is useful in scenarios with strict deadlines, limited resources, or when the application's scope is fixed and unlikely to grow, such as one-off scripts or internal dashboards and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Microservices if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in cloud-native environments where services can be independently scaled and deployed, reducing downtime and improving fault isolation over what Non Scalable Design offers.
