Fowler's First Law of Distribution

Given a system that is NOT enormous and spread over a large geographic area, why would you use a distributed architecture?

 

PROS:

Scalability

Separation of concerns

 

CONS:

Testing!

Deployment

Latency

 

When it might work to your advantage

1. When process is long-lived and dependent on outside processes

2. When you're trying to extend a third-party app
