Drawbacks of the direct client-to-microservices

communications, Comparison with API Gateway and direct

client-to-microservice communications.

▪ In diagram, each microservices has to open public

endpoint to the client applications but it has lots of

drawbacks.

▪ If it is small microservice-based application, and if you

don't have so much client applications, it could be good fit to

use direct client-to-microservices communication.

▪ When you build large and complex microservice-based

applications, if you have dozens of microservices, and

several client applications that need to communicate

multiple microservices.

▪ Direct-to-microservices communication can creates major

problems.
