Challenges in Delivering Software in the Cloud as Microservices

Microservices can be broadly defined as the design of service-oriented software using a set of small services. In a microservice architecture, application complexity is distributed among narrowly focused and independently deployable units of computation. Such complexity can result in security vulnerabilities. Trustworthiness is also an issue when dealing with microservices. Moreover, there may be gaps in existing legal frameworks with regard to this technology. Solutions to these issues must seek balance between security and performance.
