# Challenges in Adopting and Sustaining Microservice-based Software Development

**[ACM Queue](https://daily.dev/sources/acmq)** · 24 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The decision to adopt microservices should be based on the profile of the organization's application suite, and the value proposition should be made to upper management. The strangler fig pattern is a common approach used to gradually transition from a monolith to microservices. It is important to maintain discipline and adhere to the core principles of microservices during the transformation process.
