HIGH TECHNICAL DEBT

HIGH TCO

UNSATISFIED TEAM

Particularly

when skills of most of the team are opposed to decision and time frame is short

Lots of hidden costs associated with undifferentiated efforts: ramping up the team, fixing bugs, maintenance

Team dissatisfaction, high attrition, leadership burn-out

Does my microservice/micro-frontend

need a specific database?

Does your solution handle a specific type of data that no other service is dealing with?

Probably, yes.

Does the cloud provider offer centralized user and network access control?

Is there a need to aggregate data from the many different databases, at some point?

Is there the possibility to split databases as logical units?
