Although the multimodel database has all data models ( key-value, graph, documents rdbms… etc).
Does this in any way impact the reliability of the overall system in a microservice architecture
Should all microservices talk to the same database?

Hey @Darshan!
In a multi-model database, there is inter-model data consistency due to a single backend. Also, the multi-model database is ACID complaint. So as reliability relies on the completeness and consistency of the data, that’s why it is reliable.
It is always preferable to use the Database per service pattern in a micro-service architecture.
Should all microservices talk to the same database?
It depends on your system’s design. They may or may not. Also, you can have different instances of a multi-model database for every microservice.
