Advantages of Migrating from Monolithic Architecture to Microservices

Advantages of Migrating from Monolithic Architecture to Microservices

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimize their software architecture to meet the demands of modern applications. One approach gaining significant traction is the migration from monolithic architecture to microservices. In this blog post, we’ll explore the advantages of making this transition.

  • Scalability and Flexibility: Microservices architecture allows for modularization of software components, enabling independent scaling of services based on demand. This flexibility ensures efficient resource utilization and better performance under varying workloads.
  • Enhanced Resilience and Fault Isolation: By breaking down monolithic applications into smaller, autonomous services, the impact of failures is minimized. Fault isolation enables the rest of the system to continue functioning smoothly even if one service encounters issues, improving overall system resilience.
  • Accelerated Development and Deployment: Microservices promote a more agile development approach, facilitating faster iteration and deployment cycles. Teams can work independently on individual services, leading to shorter time-to-market and increased innovation.
  • Technology Diversity and Innovation: Microservices architecture encourages the use of diverse technologies and frameworks for different services, allowing teams to select the most suitable tools for specific functionalities. This fosters innovation and empowers developers to leverage the latest advancements in technology.
  • Improved Scalability: Microservices architecture allows for easier horizontal scaling, enabling organizations to handle growing workloads more effectively without significant architectural changes. This scalability is essential for businesses experiencing rapid growth or fluctuating demand.

In conclusion, migrating from monolithic architecture to microservices offers numerous benefits in terms of scalability, resilience, agility, and innovation. While the transition may require careful planning and execution, the long-term advantages make it a worthwhile investment for businesses looking to stay competitive in today’s dynamic market.

The migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices is much less complex than it seems, however, it is necessary to dedicate enough time to define the responsibilities that each microservice will assume; this is the greatest challenge on this path.

Multichannel: Start your digital conversation here!

Multi-channel: Here starts your digital conversation

* by Claudia Lamas – Partner y Product Owner de Beplic

As part of the business digital transformation is to provide answers to customers through the available multiple digital channels. With the appearance and use of these, the paradigm changed, it is the company/business that must find its customers where they choose to be. The Customer chooses the channel and the moment,  the company responds.

We find in this situation, some problems:

Multiplicity of social media applications and messaging used to respond to customers/fans.

– This service is generally outsourced to marketing agencies that know little about the customer service area and more about how a company provides this care.

– WhatsApp has their Business version with some customer management functionalities. The same happens with Facebook and Instagram, but these features are not all the same, nor do all applications have them. That is, it depends on the channel, it will be the attention or management that a company can do with its customers.

Impossibility of measuring efficiency or customer service. Generally, the employees of these areas use their personal network accounts.

Beplic was born as a co-creation with a client and the functionalities we developed for the MVP are the result of this relationship.

To solve these problems, we developed Beplic, which integrates the most used digital channels. Through APIs, it connects to WhatsApp, Facebook and we also develop a customizable chatbot to install on web pages. A lead generator, to turn the web into an important and proactive communication channel.

Beplic was born as a co-creation with a client (tourism) and the functionalities that we developed for the MVP are the product of this relationship. Features such as Contact labels and nicknames, Exclusive portfolio, automated welcome messages, after-hours messages, quick responses to improve and standardize some messages, message tracking so as not to forget who is owed a response/solution. They are suggested and valuable functionalities for users.

In addition, we developed some KPIs such as peak hours, average response time, most active users, word cloud (from conversations), and several more that help to understand and improve the customer experience.
