Differences Between Service-Oriented Architecture and Microservices Architecture
Keywords:
services, architectures, microservices, SOA, service characteristics, architecture characteristicsAbstract
Over decades the industry demands different changes on software design and architecture. The increasing complexity of applications, changes of requirements and several other evolutions caused an industrial shift of architectures. In the past, architectures like CORBA, Java RMI and SOA ensured an answer to the above mentioned problems, however now it seems that even SOA has its successor, the microservices architecture. After analyzing and reading this paper, the readers will be familiar and have solid information about service-oriented architecture, microservices, their differences and similarities, challenges, advantages and disadvantages and their implementation.
