It was called modular design. I think the main difference with micro services is the accessibility on the network. I would like to be corrected if I am wrong.

- ArloL 6y agoMicroservices are indepently deployable modules. Thus the same principles of modular design in a monolith apply. So, yes, you're correct with the network part.
- gizzlon 6y agoMy question was rhetorical, to be honest :) point being that the only new thing, if any, with microservices is that they should be micro and you should have a lot of them. People have been running >1 services for a long time. Sometimes calling it SOA and sometimes calling it nothing, just doing it because it made sense.
- dpix 6y agoTotally agree, I find a lot of tech is like fashion - leaving and returning again later with a new cooler name. just doing it because it made sense. This ^^. Call it what you like - if it works, it works
