What is a Microservices Architecture?

Written by Tarun Sharma | Sep 20, 2017 7:28:00 AM

This webinar has now ended. Please view the session recording below. 


Understand what is a microservices architecture, how to work with it, and how it is superior to the monolithic application architecture.

Most of the current web apps follow Monolithic Architecture i.e. all code (presentation, business, and data access layer) is maintained within the same code base. On the other hand, we have microservices: a single self-contained unit which, together with many others, makes up a large application. The ideas is to split your app into small units so that every part of it is:

  • independently deployable and scalable 

  • can be written by different teams and in different programming languages

  • can be tested individually

 

In this webinar, we explore the challenges, including performance, that can happen with a growing monolithic application. And then we dive into what is a microservices architecture, and how it can resolve the problems faced in a monolithic architecture.
