Ask HN: What's your biggest struggle with Microservices?

Micro-services must be under the same mantra as bomb defusers:

1- You first mistake is wanna to (be a bomb defuser) use micro-services.

Don't

2- You second mistake is (getting close to the bomb) start building a micro-service infrastructure.

Not.

3- You third and worst mistake is believe (you can defuse the bomb safely) you can build a microservice solution correctly.

The only reason to (be a bomb-defuser) use microservices is (you are part of the police or army and somebody must do this) you ALREADY HAVE SOLVED THE MAIN THINGS FOR YOUR APP and now are in the hostile territory where micro-service truly make sense. You are facebook-alike.

Totally agreed. Few months ago we started building micro-services infrastructure. We were waiting with that for a bunch of years until things started to get harder and harder to maintain within one app. This is really costly at the beginning if you want to do that correctly.
