Monolithic Applications vs Microservices: Software Architecture
Snowpal Podcast: Discuss the differences between monolithic applications and microservices.
This video discusses the differences between monolithic applications and microservices. The speaker provides an overview of Snowpile.com and its features. He then defines monolithic applications and microservices, using an example of building an application for a hotel. The speaker explains that a monolithic application is a single package where all components are integrated, while microservices are a suite of applications that solve a set of problems. He highlights the benefits of microservices, including flexibility in technology stacks and ease of making changes. The video concludes with a mention of different types of microservices and a promise to cover them in a future video.
Takeaways
Monolithic applications are built and deployed as a single package, while microservices are a suite of applications that solve a set of problems.
Microservices offer flexibility in technology stacks and allow teams to choose their preferred languages and frameworks.
Making changes in microservices is easier and limits regression, as only the specific service needs to be modified.
Rolling back and recovering from issues is simpler in microservices compared to monolithic applications.
