The article discusses the transition from a single microservice architecture to a cell-based architecture aimed at overcoming scaling challenges faced due to dependent service quota limitations. Over six months of production, the limitations of a fixed service quota per account became apparent, necessitating a shift to multiple accounts to distribute the service. The complexity of this transition included challenges such as stateful services and direct dependencies, but a thorough analysis and execution plan led to a successful rollout of the new architecture, resulting in improved scalability and performance for the service.
Adopting a cell-based architecture allowed us to overcome quota constraints by distributing our service across multiple accounts, enhancing our scaling capabilities.
Moving to a cell-based architecture presented challenges like stateful services and direct dependencies that needed to be addressed to achieve true scalability.
After analyzing our production components, we formulated an execution plan to strategically transition to a cell-based architecture, which ultimately improved service performance.
Initially, our service faced scaling bottlenecks due to fixed quotas per account, highlighting the need to re-architect for multiple instances across different accounts.
