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.

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.

7 Key Benefits of Microservices

In the age of technology, businesses are experiencing a digital renaissance. Customers are interacting with companies through mobile devices and social media platforms more than ever, and they expect a higher level of service. This has forced businesses to re-evaluate how they operate to meet customer demands. One such way companies are changing the way they work is by adopting the benefits of microservices. The question is, why are microservices so helpful to modern enterprises?

4 Microservices Examples: Amazon, Netflix, Uber, and Etsy

Some of the most innovative and profitable microservices architecture examples among enterprise companies in the world — like Amazon, Netflix, Uber, and Etsy — attribute their IT initiatives’ enormous success in part to the adoption of microservices. Over time these enterprises dismantled their monolithic applications. They then refactored them into microservices-based architectures to quickly achieve scaling advantages, greater business agility, and unimaginable profits.

Testkube for your microservices woes

Enterprises have long relied on monolithic applications to run their operations and provide different functions and services to their customers. Monolithic software is designed to be self-contained; components of the program are interconnected and interdependent. If any program component requires an update, the whole application must be redeployed. As enterprises continue to grow their customer base, they will need to upgrade and scale their monolithic architecture.
