The microservice ecosystem

As discussed in the initial chapters, we need to get ready for big changes when embracing microservices. The discussions we've had on deployment, security, and testing so far would have had you thinking by now about accepting this fact. Unlike monoliths, adoption of microservices requires you to prepare beforehand and in a way that you start building the infrastructure along with it and not after it. In a way, microservices thrive in the complete ecosystem where everything is worked out, from deployment to testing and security to monitoring. The returns associated with embracing such a change are huge. There is definitely a cost involved to make all these changes. However, instead of having a product that doesn't get on the market, it is better to incur some costs and design and develop something that thrives and does not die out after the first few rollouts.
