Is Meraki cloud microservices based?

flyingframes — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 03:51:26 GMT

Mist is trying to sell us the microservices story & i can not believe that Meraki cloud is not microservices based. However, i did not find any proof of Meraki cloud being microservices based!

Best i could find was a field day mention of Meraki trying to move to microservices cloud in 2022 but nothing else!

Here is the field day video link:

The Meraki Dashboard and backend platform used to be solely based around clustered nodes arranged into shards for horizontal scale-out. Quite some time ago, microservices began to be adopted, and some Meraki services are now utilising microservices.

Does this page point at any explanation on micro services? I apologize but i don't see any mention of micro services in it.

The Meraki Cloud Architecture page describes a centralized management service built on multi-tenant servers distributed across Meraki data centers and public cloud providers. But, it does not mention microservices explicitly, it focuses on reliability, high availability, and disaster recovery.

No. It was just a related document.

The use/non-use of micro-services is quite a deep application design decision. It's not something that is usually visible to the end user of an application.

It's a way of constructing applications and managing/rolling out updates.
