Microservices Explained in 5 Minutes

What are Microservices? Microservices are a popular architectural pardigm used to build maintainable, evolvable and scalable applications and systems. This video introduces microservices concepts and ideas in 5 minutes.

I watched this video from a browser I wasn't signed in, had to change to a signed in browser to say "Thanks so much for the video". Precise and concise

[@5-minutesorless]

Thank you for watching and the nice comment 🙏

[@PaulSebastianM]

Microservices didn't appear because they needed to tackle complexity. In fact, Microservices takes complexity up to a whole new level. The main reason for Microservices to appear is tackling scaling issues (of both number of users and the teams that builds the software) and tight coupling issues between the different components (or tiers) of a system that makes evolving the software much harder and much slower than what was needed. I felt you make this case in the beginning but kind of save it in the end. But a good video overall.

[@perc-ai]

we literally swtiched to Rust and now we are a monolith. We cut off the unneccessary complexity caused by our microservcies by using Rust which can millions of concurrent io calls per second...

[@gt4adolfo]

@@perc-ai thats true we have a monolith wrote in rust, but we are moving to a MS architecture using rust and go... it's easy to mantain and scale

[@ArquimedesOfficial]

The question is when to use it...people who in last years have used cause "fashion/hype" are regretting, once again... "hype oriented", worst thing in software development and seems to have no end...

[@perc-ai]

@@gt4adolfo I dont know your app requirements but that is the exact type of thing we want to avoid, the level of scale you need to hit before MS starts making sense from a performance/cost/technical debt side of things is what most companies will never experience. We literally just rent a 8 core server on aws and thats that - it handles 500k MAU just fine. Even StackOverflow is built on a monolith... and I'm sure they see more scale than we ever will... You will never see "oh 1M users were added overnight and our servers crashed since we werent able to handle the load" scenarios.

[@Fanmade1b]

It is a bit shocking to see that you seem to be the absolute minority in this comment section, but at least the amount of upvotes give me some hope.
The last companies I've worked for started implementing microservices because they thought it would fix their issues (mainly with complexity) and it made it worse in every case.
This video also gives the impression that creating a monolith is the "old" way of writing software and microservices are the modern solution to all of our problems and this seems to be what most people are thinking.
The reality is, that most companies are neither Google nor Amazon and switching to microservices just introduces a great lot of new problems for them.
There are companies with internal software that is far off from being anything complex (you can run that on a raspberry pie without mayor issues) and used by less than a 100 employees where they switch to cloud-based microservice architectures because apparently this is what has to be done right now. Of course they do also have only a few developers which now have to handle not just one system, but a dozen services instead.
I've not yet seen this having a positive impact anywhere.
But I've seen it having a very bad impact a lot of times.
There are single teams with 5 devs having to manage 20+ services out there....
And the worst part of that is, that they don't even manage to leverage the positive aspects of microservices. Most of the implementations I've seen are neither scalable (for example all using the same bottleneck database), nor independent (like all referencing the same model library).
I don't think the technology itself is bad, just that it seems to be misused most of the time. I'd argue that the best way is to build a monolith first (using proper architecture!) and if you see that you for example run into performance issues because of a specific part of that application and you can provide the devs to tackle this, you extract that part into a microservice and build that one to be as resiliant and scalable as possible. But what do I know, the managers apparently know it better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is how I learn every topic. Now I see someone who doing the same thing. Appreciate it. This is the way of teaching something.

[@tharindusathsara3414]

Fantastic breakdown! Your concise explanation in just 5 minutes is a game-changer for anyone diving into this complex topic. Clear, insightful, and incredibly helpful. Kudos!

[@TobiPlayHD]

This is a well animated and presented introduction to the microservice paradigm. Good job!

[@5-minutesorless]

Thank you for watching!

[@rottenfist220]

Simple, straight to the point, no meaningless animations, no meaningless stuff to look "cute" (the ones who are doing it trust me it's very annoying). Very well explained, please keep it that way.

[@5-minutesorless]

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated 👍

[@abulkalamazad9620]

Well said ❤

[@vistum_web]

Best explanation ever, many UA-camrs complicated this too much for people that are just beginning and want the big picture only.

[@RickOnPlanetEarth]

hey man, this is really good! You should keep doing videos like these, explaining complex topics in simple to understand 5-minute digestible videos.

[@5-minutesorless]

Thank you. Yes, more is coming. It just takes some time to create such videos.

[@Dyanosis]

Except this wasn't 5 minutes.

[@strandingstranger]

i LOVED this explanation, thank you so much for putting this together!

[@vishalbhati8974]

Kudos to the creator for such great work 👏👏. Looking forward to more such videos where complex things can be broken down and explained in simple terms.

[@suryakantgupta6262]

Your Explanation gave me so much clarity in 5 min then a 500 hours of video and overloaded LINKEDIN POST on the same.

I like the idea of monolithic apps with micro services being leveraged for added functionality.

[@darshandev1754]

thats called SOA, service oriented architecture

[@5-minutesorless]

Thanks. Yes, possibly, I was thinking about creating a video about explaining high availability concept that would include scalability.. stay tuned 😉

[@5-minutesorless]

[@HammadKhanYT]

I think microservices also evolved because of Mobile App Needs. Most mobile will need a backend service which needs to be separate from the App itself. It actually can't be part of the App because of various issues like battery drain and poor design. Notification is one example of such a service which needs to run on an independent platform. This and the popularity of cloud platforms gave way to microservices which is departure from the main programming paradigm. Great and insightful video by the way.

[@sudeshpadmanathan9867]

This is very useful for beginners who want to understand introduction to Microservices. Thanks and great work !

[@yashchaudhary3446]

It's a great concept buddy, attention span of people has reduced drastically, and people don't want to look at 16-18-minute videos, one more thing try to keep your thumbnails like @TheArtofImprovement those are really good for such videos and also develop a short channel where you can sum-up everything under a minute, I hope to see you progressing from 5k to million soon.

each concept have their advantages and disadvantages.. I have experience with both Monolithic & Microservices.. I prefer microservices because of below reasons
1. Scaling of required functionality
2. Easy to understand the code
3. new comers can start contributing within a short period
4. Easy to debug the issues for new comers
