For those working within software architecture, the term “monolithic application” or “monolith” carries significant weight. This traditional application design approach has been a staple for software development for decades. Yet, as technology has evolved, the question arises: Do monolithic applications still hold their place in the modern development landscape? It’s a heated debate that has […]
The choice to move on from outdated legacy software is by no means a small feat. And yet, in many cases it’s essential. According to a 2022 survey, 79% of IT leaders find themselves held back in their digital transformation processes by outdated technology. Whether you want to move to modularized versions of monoliths or […]
As the speed of technology continues to increase, an outdated monolithic architecture limits your organization’s ability to scale and run effectively. Modernizing your software by refactoring to microservices offers increased scalability, allowing your company to optimize the value it gets from the cloud. For many business leaders, modernization is now a priority. According to a […]
When Watts Humphrey stated that every business is a software business, organizations realized that their survival depended on software. Today, developers also need to view cybersecurity as part of their responsibilities. It’s not enough to add security as an afterthought. A global shortage of cybersecurity talent continues, with an estimated 3.4 million positions unfilled in […]
In a report on managing technical debt, Google researchers make a startling admission: “With a large and rapidly changing codebase, Google software engineers are constantly paying interest on various forms of technical debt.” What’s true of Google is very likely true of your company as well, especially if you have legacy applications you still depend […]
If your company has been in business for a decade or more with a custom application, there’s a high chance that the application’s architecture is obsolete. Ten years ago, monolithic vs. microservices architecture for business apps wasn’t much of a discussion: monolithic applications seemed to still be working well, and most IT professionals knew how […]
Monolithic and Microservices are the two architectures used most commonly today for developing enterprise software applications. Monoliths have been around for some time, but the benefits of a microservices architecture are making the latter more popular. Because of this, many companies are investing in transforming their monoliths into microservices. Monolithic is an accepted way to […]
Businesses need to respond to the needs of clients alongside evolving business conditions. As a result, many businesses that wonder what the use of microservices in Java is will find this article helpful. However, before discussing Java microservices, we need to explore microservices design concepts in general. For businesses to keep up, it is essential […]
Most enterprise software applications built until recently were monoliths. Monoliths have a huge code base and run as a single application or service. They did the job, but then developers started running into a brick wall. Monoliths were problematic to scale. No single developer could understand the entire application. Making changes, fixing bugs, and adding […]
Distributed architectures such as microservices offers several advantages over monolithic architectures. Microservices are self-contained code that can be deployed independently. Developers can focus on a few microservices rather than the entire codebase, reducing onboarding time. If a failure occurs in a microservice, it does not create a cascading failure that results in significant downtime. Indeed, […]
