There were talks about the \u201cNew Normal\u201d<\/em> which not only people as consumers needed to accept but the businesses as well. Getting back to the metaphor, the sky which figuratively shattered was a part of that \u201cNew Normal\u201d<\/em>. The most difficult pieces of puzzle just weren\u2019t fitting anymore, and some new horizons appeared for some, while others were left to pick up the pieces \u2013 no pun intended. If you have read our blog about the failed monolithic systems (which you should), you\u2019re probably already seeing the big picture \u2013 again, no pun intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forcefully trying to fit all the pieces of a business puzzle as they were, became a pointless effort, and the transition from the monolithic systems to ones which use the flexibility of made this pointless effort the \u201cOld Normal\u201d<\/em>. As the big picture (or the market) constantly changes, instead of reorganizing and putting together all of the puzzle pieces from scratch, why shouldn\u2019t you just accept the new picture which is changing so fast it basically became a video? Videos are taking over photos. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get back to the topic, monolithic systems are a thing of the past. The majority of the businesses that rely on them will sooner or later face the fact that in order to benefit from the changes in the market, they have to change as well. One way of implementing the microservices is to create them from scratch but that requires both manpower and time. The other way, and in the opinion of many analysts \u2013 the right way, is to use Low-Code app development, integration with the legacy systems to ease the transition, and microservices which all communicated with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, by making the business puzzle pieces smaller and all fitting everywhere, industry leaders have transitioned from seeing \u201cthe big picture\u201d (a.k.a. the future of their business), to watching the video of the current and everchanging market with all of their pixels (interconnected microservices) reacting in real time to show the entire scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating microservices is a time-consuming process which requires great coordination between the business and the IT sector of any company. Low-Code development can speed up the process alongside the creation of the fusion-teams. Still, the transition to microservices is long and difficult, especially if each service (or the piece of the puzzle) has to be created from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reusing the previous pieces and borrowing them from others is the main key in streamlining this process and actually taking advantage of microservices. Composability is something that cannot be achieved without reusability (Source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, to finish the metaphor, microservices are essentially small puzzle pieces which fit in all places of the \u201cbig picture\u201d<\/em> of business, and no matter the changes in the market, these puzzle pieces change with it, while keeping their ends open for connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nowadays almost everyone is at the crossroad choosing between holding on to the existing systems which may me familiar and easy to use but cannot change or adapt or going through the process of transition to microservice architecture (which is empowered by the reusability aspect).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other than streamlining the process of the transition to the microservice architecture, there are a lot of direct benefits of actually reaching that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microservices empower businesses to develop applications more swiftly than ever before. Each microservice, like a specialized puzzle piece, serves a specific function within the larger system. This modularity allows teams to work independently on different microservices, resulting in faster development cycles. Furthermore, these microservices communicate seamlessly with each other, enabling the sharing of data and resources. Imagine if each piece of your puzzle could self-adjust its position and seamlessly exchange information with its neighboring pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the monolithic world, expanding your business often meant restructuring the entire system. With microservices, growth is less daunting. When your business expands, you can add new microservices tailored to the new requirements, without disrupting existing services. Like adding new puzzle pieces to an already assembled section, scaling becomes a matter of extending your solution, not overhauling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as the right puzzle piece fits perfectly in its designated spot, microservices allow for precise resource allocation. Each service can be optimized for its specific task, ensuring efficient use of computational power and memory. This fine-grained resource management means your investments yield maximum returns, much like a perfectly completed puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Picture a puzzle with a missing piece \u2013 the entire picture may remain incomplete. Similarly, a failure in a monolithic system can lead to a complete breakdown. Microservices, on the other hand, offer a safety net. If one microservice encounters an issue, the rest can continue functioning. It’s akin to a puzzle with interconnected sections \u2013 if one section has a gap, the rest remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The business landscape is like a dynamic video, always evolving. Microservices mirror this dynamism. As market conditions change, microservices can evolve, adapt, and even be replaced, all without disrupting the entire system. Imagine a puzzle that can morph its pieces to create a new image, allowing your business to stay aligned with market trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In essence, microservices are the ultimate evolution of the puzzle metaphor. Each piece is specialized, adaptable, and seamlessly integrated, enabling your business to navigate the complex puzzle of the market with agility and precision.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/scheer-pas.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Blogpost-_5-Composability-and-the-reusing-of-assets-Image-1-1024x593.jpg\")
