Monolithic applications are more time consuming to work with. Imagine there is a big monolithic application and you have to reverse an if condition in your service layer. After changing the code, it has to be built, which usually takes a few minutes, and then you must test the entire application, which will reduce the team's performance.

You can reboot or reload an application in seconds for a microservices architecture. When you have to reverse an if condition, you need not wait for minutes to build and deploy the application to test; you can do it in seconds. This will decrease the time it takes to do mundane tasks.

A human mind (unless you are superhuman) can handle only a limited amount of information. So cognitively, microservices help people to reduce the clutter and focus on the functionality. This enables better productivity and faster rollouts.

To sum up, embracing microservices for an appropriate use case will do the following:

• Maximize productivity
• Improve agility
• Improve the customer experience
• Speed up development/unit testing (if designed properly)
• Improve revenue
