       This  work  explores  the impacts of three microservices design
       patterns on software evolution: API Gateway, Service Discovery,
       and Externalized Configuration. The main goal was to comprehend
       the  counter  effects  microservices  design  patterns  have on
       software  evolution.  For  this,  we present an analysis of the
       impact  on  software evolution through technical discussions on
       the  counter  effects  of  the  design  patterns on a couple of
       evolution scenarios. Results show important aspects of software
       evolution  are  impacted  by  microservices design patterns and
       emphasize  the  relevance  of  comprehending counter effects of
       microservices design patterns to orchestrate software evolution
       effectively.
