Thinking Microservices?
What is Microservices Architecture?
Microservice architecture, also known as ‘microservices,’ is a development method that
breaks down software into modules with specialized functions and detailed
interfaces.
If you want to explain this to a kid —
Imagine your application is a pizza. Now, cut that pizza into tiny, manageable slices.
Congratulations! You just microserviced your pizza. Each slice (microservice) has its
own flavor (functionality) and can be enjoyed independently.
So, what’s the difference in a unified interface(monolithic architecture) and this new
(pretty new) architecture?
A monolithic architecture is a singular, large computing network with one code
base that
couples all of the business concerns together. To make a change to this sort of
application requires updating the entire stack by accessing the code base and building
and deploying an updated version of the service-side interface. This makes updates
restrictive and time-consuming. Even a tiny modification to the code is likely to
require creating and deploying a completely new version of the software.
