#Soap vs rest vs microservices upgrade

For example, if you see that one of your micro-service is taking more traffic, then you can deploy another instance of that micro-service and then distribute the traffic between them. Each micro-service can be scaled independently according to requirement.In a monolithic architecture, if any fault occurs, it might bring down the entire application as everything is tightly coupled, however, in case of micro-service architecture, a fault affects only that micro-service and its consumers.We have discussed both advantages and disadvantages of monolith and micro-services, you can easily figure out the differences between them, however, I am also stating them below. Breaking down a large application into individual components as micro-services is also a difficult task.Deploying a micro-service application is also a complex task, as each service will have multiple instances and each instance will need to be configured, deployed, scaled and monitored.Debugging becomes very difficult as one micro-service will be calling other micro-services and to figure out which micro-service is causing the error, becomes a difficult task in itself.Also, extra efforts are needed for a secure communication between micro-services As micro-services will need to communicate with each other, it increases the network latency.And this complexity increases with the increase in micro-services As micro-services are distributed, it becomes complex compared to monolith.Continuous deployment becomes easier as we only have to re-deploy that micro-service.ĭespite all these advantages, Micro-services also comes with various disadvantages:.

It is not that difficult to upgrade to newer technology versions or adopt a newer technology as the codebase is quite smaller (this point is debatable in case the micro-service becomes very large).We can choose different technologies for different micro-services according to business requirements Micro-service architecture is quite flexible.A bug in micro-service will affect only that micro-service and its consumers, not the entire application.Rolling out a new version of micro-service means redeploying only that micro-service.Scalability is a major advantage of using a micro-service architecture, each micro-service can be scaled independently.Micro-services are easier to manage as they are relatively smaller in size.Micro-service architecture gives some advantages: It is very difficult to adopt any new technology in a monolith application, as it affects the whole application, both in terms of time and cost.A bug in any module can bring down the entire application.Continuous deployment becomes difficult.The size of the monolith can slow down the application start-up and deployment time.Scaling a monolith application becomes difficult once the application size increases.Rolling out a new version means redeploying the entire application.However, there are various disadvantages of monolith architecture as well: Network latency is very low/none because of one single codebase.Scaling is simple when the application size is small, we just have to deploy one more instance of our monolith and distribute the traffic using a load balancer.These applications are easier to deploy, as only one single jar/war needs to be deployed.Testing a monolith is also simple, just start the application and do the end-to-end testing, Selenium can be used to do the automation testing.Monolithic architecture has some advantages: In monolithic architecture, applications are built as one large system, whereas in micro-service architecture we divide the application into modular components which are independent of each other. Uses enterprise service bus (ESB) for communication Involves sharing data storage between servicesĮach service can have independent data storage.īetter for small and web-based applications. Microservices apps mostly dedicate a database or other type of storage to services that need it.įocused on maximizes application service reusability.

SOA model has a single data storage layer which shared by all of the services in that application. SOA(Service-oriented architecture) vs Microservices SOA Each service running has its own process and this achieves the lightweight model to support business applications. Micro Service is an architecture that allows the developers to develop and deploy services independently. It also enables an organization to evolve its technology stack. The microservice architecture enables the rapid, frequent and reliable delivery of large, complex applications. Microservices - also known as the microservice architecture - is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are
