Abstract
Microservice architecture has gained hype both in industry and academia. Companies are migrating their legacy monolithic systems to microservices architecture due to its promised benefits (e.g., agility and scalability). However, practitioners have faced many challenges in microservices architecture’s design, development, and operation. This study investigates the challenging factors that could negatively affect the adoption of microservices architecture, as revealed by practitioners in empirical studies. We performed a socio technical grounded theory literature review (ST-GTLR) and identified 24 key challenges from 31 empirical studies. The identified challenges were labeled as codes and mapped into seven concepts. Finally, the concepts were merged into three core categories design, development, and infrastructure. Our results serve as a body of knowledge for practitioners and researchers to understand the challenging aspects of microservices architecture in design areas.
