Microservices
In this section, you will learn to describe the microservices architecture.
In the early 1960s, virtualization was in its infancy, but so too were distributed computing architectural patterns or strategies, if you will, and practitioners of these patterns’ initial seed bore many fruits. IT pros, in conjunction with development teams, later devised various alternatives to the monolithic application architecture patterns to optimize testability, decoupling, dependencies, and singularity, and improve development sprint cycles with small but proficient teams. As you would expect, cloud computing SPs—Amazon, Microsoft, and Google architectures—provide the building blocks for modern alternatives to the monolithic application development pattern utilized traditionally on-premises.
This new architecture, known as microservices, was derived from distributed computing patterns’ service-oriented nature. Due to the architecture’s position...
