Why Microservices Are the Future of Software Architecture
The Shift from Monoliths to Microservices
In the past, most applications were built as monolithic architectures — single, large codebases where all components were tightly coupled. While this worked for small applications, it became problematic as applications grew in complexity. Enter microservices architecture, a game-changer in modern software development.
Microservices break down an application into independent, loosely coupled services that communicate via APIs. This approach has transformed how businesses build scalable, resilient, and efficient applications.
For example, consider this microservice architecture for a simple shopping cart application. It has different services like product service, inventory service, and stock service, and these are the independent and loosely coupled services in the microservices projects.
But why are microservices the future of software architecture? Let’s explore.
