Navigating Service Granularity in Microservices
This chapter explores the complexities of software service granularity, differentiating between architectural modularity and granularity while addressing data dependencies. It discusses historical microservices challenges, such as the Grains of Sand anti-pattern, and introduces drivers for granularity disintegration and integration. By examining trade-offs in service design, the chapter emphasizes the balance between code volatility, fault tolerance, and operational efficiency within microservices architecture.
