The document discusses some of the challenges and pitfalls of microservices architecture, including architectural, operational, and organizational issues. Architecturally, distributed systems are difficult to manage due to issues like lack of global clock, independent failures, and network latency and reliability. Operationally, deploying and upgrading many independent services requires extensive automation, monitoring, and incident response systems. Organizationally, acquiring distributed skills and managing loose coupling between teams presents challenges for companies adopting microservices.
