SOA stands for service-oriented architecture. To remind you, in short, SOA can be defined by the following points:
- Services are autonomous
- Their boundaries are explicit
- Services share schemas and contracts (not class)
- Service compatibility is based on the policy
In SOA, several different services (smaller applications) can be combined to act as one single big application. This gives us the conclusion that by using SOA, we achieve modularity for our software. Services in SOA pass and parse messages by protocols that describe them.
Based on this, we can explain microservices with respect to SOA. Microservices represent the interpretation of SOA, which is used to build distributed systems. Services in a microservice architecture are processes that communicate with each other. You must have noted that there is no single commonly agreed definition...
