Microservices: Is it time to break up? discusses when and how to transition from a monolithic application architecture to a microservices architecture. While microservices allow for improved scalability, performance, and agility, they also introduce more complexity. The document recommends using Redis data services to address scalability needs within a monolithic application initially. As needs grow, the application can then be decomposed into microservices while still leveraging Redis to manage shared data. Redis Enterprise provides high availability, security, and performance advantages for microservices architectures in the cloud.
