Microservices, from English microservices, is an architecture for writing software programs. With them, applications are broken down into minimal and independent components. Unlike the traditional monolithic approach where the entire application is created as a single block, microservices are separate components that work together to perform the same complex or complementary tasks. This approach to software development values lightness and the ability to share similar processes across multiple applications.
The traditional approach to developing software applications emphasizes monolithic constructs, a single program that integrates and solves all requirements. In them, all deployable parts are contained in the application itself. This approach has some disadvantages: the larger the application, the greater the difficulty in solving problems and adding new features, in other words, the cost and development time becomes increasingly greater. Adopting a microservices-based approach to creating applications helps solve these problems, making the enterprise's Management Information System more efficient and at a lower cost.
The great advantage of using an infrastructure based on microservices is the speed with which the solution allows you to deliver quality software. But that's not all, it's not enough to just break down applications into microservices, it's also necessary to manage and coordinate these microservices, in addition to processing the data generated and modified by them. Therefore, Guscla always prioritizes the development of the Management Information System in a personalized way, tailored to the business, making it clear how and where to use micro services appropriately, respecting the organization's individual processes.
Compared to monolithic applications, microservices are much easier to create, test, deploy and update. In fact, for ERPs that allow integrations, it is the fastest way to improve the operational use of complex procedures, and what's more, they are the solution to the dilemma of how to make companies react more quickly to new demands, instead of getting stuck. on the “death row” of time-consuming traditional software development. Furthermore, microservices allow different areas of the development team to work quickly and simultaneously on products, providing valuable solutions in a short time.
