Microservices tie in closely with DevOps practices. Many developers believe a microservices architecture is directly optimized for DevOps and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD). Indeed, microservices architects require DevOps. Microservices introduce numerous moving parts and complexities, as well as dependencies. Without DevOps, a microservices architecture might run into some issues. A solid DevOps practice provides better deployment, monitoring, lifecycle management, and automation solutions, which are all necessary to support microservices architectures. Therefore, it’s important to have good DevOps practices in place.
