If it’s a large & complex app - it might make sense to split some parts of its code into separate logical services.
And yeah, a smaller app probably would load a lot faster than a complex one so I don’t think that would have anything to do with bandwidth costs but would definitely help with reducing the latency on launching new instances. Also, you might want to look into microservices ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices> ) where the approach is to split the app into as many small micro app as possible in order to make the development of the app easier... > On Mar 6, 2018, at 11:43 PM, asmith26 <asmith9...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thank you for your answer - can I ask what the advantages of multiple > services app are on a single service (default) app?
