One of the major shifts in the approach to software development is the move from monolithic, single-block applications to highly granular microservices based applications. This fundamental transformation in the way software is built does bring with it many benefits, but it does pose some challenges as well.
Therefore, before getting into the details of how the move from monolithic to microservices can be made, I would like to first share a basic understanding of the concepts of Monolithic Applications and Microservices Applications built on SOA, and their comparative advantages and disadvantages.
Monolithic Applications, as their name suggests, refers to a ‘very large, united, and difficult to change’ application artifact.
Pros
Cons
Microservices Applications make use of small, independent artifacts that run in their own deployment environment and can communicate with other artifacts of the application to deliver the required features to the end user.
Pros
Cons
Given its numerous inherent advantages, the move from Monolithic to Microservices architecture is now all but inevitable. In a nutshell, at most times, building a medium or larger application involves complexity. Adopting Microservices Architecture with better planning and design can help to reduce this complexity.
