Monolithic Versus Microservices
"The old order changeth yielding place to new"
- Alfred Tennyson
A well-designed monolithic architecture has been the key to many successful software applications. However, microservices-based applications are gaining popularity in the age of the internet due to their inherent property of being autonomous and flexible, their ability to scale independently, and their shorter release cycles. In this chapter, you will:
- Learn about the basics of monolithic and microservices architectures
- Understand the monolithic-first approach and when to start using microservices
- Learn how to migrate an existing monolithic application to microservices
- Compare and contrast the release cycle and deployment methodology of monolithic and microservices-based applications
