Promoting a microservices architecture

The serverless paradigm is tailor-made for designing a system based on a microservices architecture. Because of the nature of how serverless computing providers offer their services, one ends up developing serverless systems as a set of loosely coupled and highly-cohesive systems, with separated concerns.

Although traditional architectures can be reimagined in a microservices-based architecture, there is a hidden cost with respect to the maintenance and infrastructural management that is not immediately visible, but becomes acute at scale.
