Study Notes
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Involves breaking down an application into loosely coupled, independent services that communicate with each other over a network.
- Often uses communication protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and SOAP.
- Coarse-grained services are characterized by a larger scope of functionality, leading to more dependencies between services.
- Typically involves centralized governance with guidelines and policies governing the development and deployment of services.
Microservices Architecture
- Primary focus is on breaking down an application into smaller, independent services that focus on specific business capabilities.
- Services are designed to be small, independent, and focused on specific business capabilities.
- Is generally technology agnostic, allowing services to be implemented using various technologies and programming languages.
- Tends to have more fine-grained services, leading to fewer dependencies between services.
