        text: "Microservices are independently deployable services that each map to a specific business capability.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. The article defines microservices as fine-grained, independent units aligned to business needs."
      },
      {
        text: "Containers package code and all dependencies to provide consistent behavior across dev, test, and prod.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. Containers encapsulate libraries, frameworks, and runtimes to ensure portability and consistency."
      },
      {
        text: "Serverless (FaaS) shifts infrastructure management to the cloud provider so teams can focus on code.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. Platforms like AWS Lambda/Azure Functions handle provisioning, scaling, and availability."
      },
      {
        text: "Excessive inter-service communication in microservices can add latency and operational overhead.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. The piece calls out latency and complexity from heavy service-to-service traffic."
      },
      {
        text: "Kubernetes is commonly used to orchestrate microservices and automate deploy/scale across environments.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. The article highlights the need for orchestration tools like Kubernetes for distributed services."
      },
      {
        text: "Many enterprises still run monoliths effectively, and some use componentized monoliths.",
        isFact: true,
        explanation: "Fact. It explicitly notes there is no one-size-fits-all; monoliths can remain effective."

        text: "Hybrid estates are common: mixing on-prem, PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS with careful integration and governance.",

        text: "Adopting microservices means you should rewrite everything at once to realize benefits quickly.",

        explanation: "Fiction. The article recommends incremental decomposition; not everything needs a rewrite."

      {
        text: "If you use microservices, you can ignore monitoring, logging, and tracing because services are small.",
        isFact: false,

      {
        text: "Copying another company’s architecture is a reliable path to success during transformation.",
        isFact: false,

      {
        text: "Serverless replaces containers entirely; you should avoid combining them in the same system.",
        isFact: false,

      {
        text: "Security risks disappear once you move from monoliths to containers or microservices.",
        isFact: false,

      {
        text: "Microservices automatically reduce costs regardless of team maturity or tooling.",
