benefits of microservices over monolithic

You're staring at that old system, and it's like a big iron block that affects the whole body. If there is a problem in one link, the entire production line will have to stop. Have a headache? Of course. It feels like asking an old engine to perform delicate surgery—clunky, sluggish, and always breaking down at critical moments.

But think about it from another perspective: What if we take the entire system apart? Instead of roughly dividing it, let it become a set of small units that are flexible, independent, and can work together. This is why many people start to re-examine their architectural design, like organizing a cluttered toolbox.

Imagine that each small module is only responsible for one specific thing - controlling the angle of a certain joint, managing the speed of a stroke, and processing signals from a set of sensors. They run independently and talk to each other through clear interfaces. When a certain part needs to be upgraded or repaired, you only need to move that small piece without having to bring down the entire system. Doesn't this sound more like a well-trained team than a lone giant machine?

One might ask, “Would this be more complicated? Harder to manage?” It might feel a little strange at first, like switching from driving a truck to operating multiple remote controls. But once you become familiar with it, you will find that the flexibility and resilience it brings are irreplaceable. For example, when you need to adjust the accuracy of a certain action, you only need the corresponding small service without having to retest the entire code base. Time is saved and risk is reduced.

Looking deeper, this modular approach also makes expansion natural. Need more local processing capabilities? Then enhance that module. Need higher reliability for a certain feature? Redundancy can be deployed for it separately. Just like building blocks, you can replace or strengthen one of them at any time without having to tear it down and start over.

When you break your system down into small, well-defined parts, you'll find that debugging becomes more intuitive, maintenance becomes easier, and even team collaboration becomes clearer—because everyone can be more focused and responsible for a clear scope.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's suitable for every situation. But for those systems that need to continuously adapt to changes, require high availability, or hope to iterate step by step, this decentralized and collaborative way of working can often bring more lasting vitality. It makes the technical architecture no longer an airtight wall, but an organic network that can breathe and grow.

So, next time you are faced with that huge and rigid old system, maybe you can stop and think about it: If you break it down into a series of small and sophisticated collaborative units, will it go further and more steadily? The answer is often hidden in every specific attempt to improve. And real change often starts with a simple question: "Can we make it more flexible?"
