I will be writing few articles on Micro Services. However I would like to highlight few points on why we needed Micro Services and bit of history about it.

In order to truly understand where did the micro services come from, we must first understand what was before them and why it did not work.

Micro Services are a result of problems with two architecture paradigms.

  1. Monolith
  2. SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)

Monolith
