Microservices, Serverless, and Microfrontends

In this chapter, we’ll delve into the architectural styles of microservices, serverless, and microfrontends. They have revolutionized the way we design, develop, and deploy applications. They also empower organizations to build robust, flexible, and scalable systems. We’ll explore the fundamentals, unique features, and tangible benefits of each approach. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of these architectures and their application in modern software engineering.

Our exploration begins with describing the traditional monolith, where the entire system is designed and developed as a single unit. Then, we’ll discuss the challenges of this approach that are faced by many developers to bring about the need to break down this monolith into smaller and loosely coupled components.

After, we’ll turn our attention to microservices architecture and examine how microservices solve the challenges...
