This article discusses the evolution of software architecture from monolithic to microservices and serverless. It suggests following a step-by-step process for software system design and evolving from monolithic to microservices.
- Refactoring architectures with different aspects of microservices pillars can also be helpful.
- The choice of architecture approach depends on various factors, including the size and complexity of the software system, the level of scalability and maintainability required, the development and deployment processes, and the technical and business constraints.
- One of the best practices is to set up the architecture in a transitional way and use mixed architectures together.
- Vertical considerations of software architecture design, such as microservices decomposition, communication, data management, deployment, and resilience, should also be taken into account.
