What are the Downsides of a Microservice based solution

A Microservice based solution has the following downsides:

1. Distributing the application adds complexity for developers when they are designing and building the services and in testing and exception handling. It also adds latency to the system.
2. Without a Microservice-oriented infrastructure, An application that has dozens of Microservices types and needs high scalability means a high degree of deployment complexity for IT operations and management.
3. Atomic transactions between multiple Microservices usually are not possible. The business requirements must embrace eventual consistency between multiple Microservices.
4. Increased global resource needs (total memory, drives, and network resources for all the servers or hosts). The higher degree of granularity and distributed services requires more global resources. However, given the low cost of resources in general and the benefit of being able to scale out just certain areas of the application compared to long-term costs when evolving monolithic applications, the increased use of resources is usually a good tradeoff for large, long-term applications.
5. When the application is large, with dozens of Microservices, there are challenges and limitations if the application requires direct client-to-Microservice communications. When designing and building a complex application based on Microservices, you might consider the use of multiple API Gateways instead of the simpler direct client‑to‑Microservice communication approach.
6. Deciding how to partition an end-to-end application into multiple Microservices is challenging. As You need to identify areas of the application that are decoupled from the other areas and that have a low number of hard dependencies. Ideally, each service should have only a small set of responsibilities. This is like the single responsibility principle (SRP) applied to classes, which states that a class should only have one reason to change.
