Let's try to explore microservice architecture and see how we can take advantage of it. Now a day it is a very demanding skill in the IT sector and Every company trying to move their service to microservice because it provides scalability, readability, rapid development, etc...

Let's understand what is the problem with the current architecture(Monolithic) and why everyone talking about microservice.

First, let's see what is monolithic.

  • Monolithic is an all-in-one architecture, wherein all aspects of the software operate as a single unit.

Why not monolithic?

1. Slow speed of development

  • In monolithic architecture, if the application increase then it’s hard to maintain its code base and readability.
  • But in the case of microservice, we divide a group of problems into multiple sub-problem.
  • And for each problem, we create a service that only solves that problem.
  • Now everyone does not need to understand every service and it increases code readability.
