In contrast, the monolithic architecture is based on a default or standard model approach to application development. It has demonstrated its limitations by posing many challenges related to handling a very large code base, scaling, integrating new changes, using new cutting-edge technology, and deployment.
What is the difference between APIs and microservices?
The difference between the two concepts is how they work. Microservices are a style of architecture dedicated to applications and where functionalities are fragmented into web services. APIs, on the other hand, represent frameworks through which developers can interact with an application. It is important to note that there is a certain overlap between APIs and microservices, due to the fact that many microservices use APIs to communicate with each other.
