ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 Question 34
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 34 of 60
Microservices Architecture — architecture that decomposes apps into small, loosely coupled services communicating over APIs.
Why not others:
- (a) Event-Driven Architecture — components communicate by producing/consuming events (messages), not defined by service decomposition
- (c) Serverless Architecture — about running code without managing servers (e.g., AWS Lambda), not about service decomposition
- (d) SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) — similar concept but uses heavier protocols (SOAP, ESB); services are typically larger and more tightly integrated than microservices
Key rule: "Small, loosely coupled, APIs" = Microservices. SOA is the closest trap — but SOA = enterprise-scale with ESB, microservices = lightweight with REST/gRPC.
