Transition from Monolithic to Microservices Architecture

Computer Engineering

The transition of software architecture from monolithic to microservices represents a significant shift and evolution in the life cycle of development and deployment. We hereby present the basic differences between monolithic architectures and microservices, discussing the advantages and challenges associated with each, and give the detailed case study of Netflix, as a leading company in the implementation of microservices. In this respect, it is interesting to look at how the implementation went on, what wins were observed, and what lessons were taken. The paper seeks to provide an all-round understanding of how microservices can fix the places where monolithic architectures have failed, therefore offering insights for an organization contemplating a similar transition.
