Monolithic (vs) Microservices Architecture

After the debate of Monolithic vs Microservices, large companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Uber, etc. made their transition decision to Microservices

Monolithic architecture is the traditional way of building and deploying applications. This structure is based on the concept of a single, indivisible unit comprised of Server, Client, and Database. (An N-Tier architecture can be an example)

On the other hand, Microservices architecture breaks those units into multiple independent pieces that work on separate logic & separate languages of code. Microservices is the ideal architecture if,

  1. You need a quick launch of a product
  2. You need scalable application as and when the business grows
  3. You need sustainable development with cross-functionality teams

Every microservice can be packed into a docker image & deployed as a Docker container. Dockers are lightweight when compared to Virtual Machines. Consider containerizing your applications !!
