Microservices vs. Monolithic | Choose the Right Architecture

It is important, more now than ever, to understand the different architectural approaches available to build robust and scalable systems. Two popular concepts that often find themselves at odds are Microservices vs. Monolithic architectures. These approaches offer distinct advantages and trade-offs, making it important to compare them and determine which one suits your organization’s specific needs.

What is an ERP Integration?

ERP Integration is the method by which a business connects its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software with other applications. The objective is to share data across systems to improve productivity and insights and create a single source of truth. There are several conventional approaches to achieving this, including point-to-point, ESB (Enterprise Service Bus), and iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service).

Microservices vs Web Services: Key Differences

In the early days of web application development, monolithic frontends and backends were perfectly fine. But the emergence of the cloud has changed expectations. Developers want to build applications that exchange information with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Business owners want faster development times. End users expect zero downtime. This new paradigm enabled the rise of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and, along with it, microservices and web services.

How To Connect Legacy ERPs to Modern Applications

Research shows that legacy systems make up 31% of the technology in organizations. These are systems that might still provide value for your enterprise but are unable to interact with other software tools, rendering them almost useless for your digital transformation objectives. Many legacy systems are ERP systems that exist in data silos, incapable of integrating with the rest of your organization. In this article, we’ll show you how to connect legacy ERPs to modern applications.

Modernizing API Development With Code Automation

APIs have revolutionized how businesses interact with their customers and partners. By providing a simple, standardized interface, APIs allow companies to expose their functionality as services that anyone can access. However, managing and maintaining APIs can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Automating the code generation and testing processes can help reduce costs while improving quality and consistency.

Self-Hosted Software: Best Practices for Secure and Reliable Deployment

Many organizations power business operations with self-hosted software. Self-hosted or on-premise software runs on a server owned by you or your organization, whereas a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider manages deployed software using cloud services. The responsibility to install and maintain self-hosted software lies with the user.
