What is a Microservice Architecture????

  • Microservice architecture, or simply microservices, is a distinctive method of developing software systems that tries to focus on building single-function modules with well-defined interfaces and operations.
  • The trend has grown popular in recent years as Enterprises look to become more Agile and move towards a DevOps and continuous testing.

How Microservices Works???

  • Microservices are a set of services that act together to make a whole application operate. This architecture utilizes APIs to pass information, such as user queries or a data stream, from one service to another.
  • How the underlying software works, or which hardware the service is built upon, depends solely on the team who built the service.
  • This makes both communicating between teams and upgrading services very dynamic even reactive allowing a software company or team to be more resilient in its development.

Monolithic architecture vs Microservice architecture

  • The monolithic architecture pattern has been the architectural style used in the past, pre-Kubernetes and cloud services days.
  • In a monolithic architecture, the software is a single application distributed on a CD-ROM, released once a year with the newest updates. Examples are Photoshop CS6 or Microsoft 2008.
  • Monolithic architecture style was the standard way of building software. But as tech has evolved, so too the architectural style must advance.
  • In an age of Kubernetes, and CI/CD workflows, the monolithic architecture encounters many limitations.
  • That's why nowadays companies need to push to microservices.

Characteristics of a monolithic architecture

  • Changes are slow
  • Changes are costly
  • Hard to adapt to a specific, or changing, product line

Advantages to Microservices

  • Increase agility
  • Improve workflows
  • Decrease the amount of time it takes to improve production

Its all about Intro and advantage of Microservices

Stay Home Stay Safe and Happy Hacking !!!
