Reducing Cognitive Load in Complex Hybrid Systems: The Role of Microservices Architecture in Simplifying Developer Experience

Author(s) Arun K Gangula
Country United States
Abstract The current software systems operate across on-premises infrastructure and private and public cloud environments while utilizing artificial intelligence and massive data analytics capabilities. The complex nature of modern systems creates an unbearable mental workload for developers, which obstructs their ability to innovate and work efficiently. The analysis of traditional monolithic architectures through Cognitive Load Theory reveals how their large, tightly coupled codebases create excessive mental work for developers. Strategic implementation of microservices functions as a cognitive management system. Microservices become more effective when designed as small, independent services that align with business domains, following Domain-Driven Design principles. This approach decreases unnecessary mental workload and aligns system boundaries with team mental capacity, as the Mirroring Hypothesis explains. The research investigates how platform engineering simplifies hybrid environment complexities and how the Strangler Fig Pattern enables cognitive-friendly system migration processes. Building sustainable, evolvable systems requires teams to prioritize cognitive load as their primary architectural concern
