How Managed Kubernetes Helps Businesses Maintain Service Accessibility
A decade ago, even the largest corporations were developing monolithic applications, barely considering that there might be alternatives thanks to?Managed Kubernetes. The IT solutions market was rapidly evolving, and competition was sidelining services that lacked quick scalability and stability. What’s the point of unique features if they can’t be utilized at one’s convenience?
Failures and crashes of services harm the reputation of any business. Clearly, the issue isn’t always about workload or code quality, the problem lies deeper — in the architecture itself. Therefore, in recent years, the monolith has been progressively losing its popularity to the microservice architecture. We will share how Kubernetes has helped businesses and automated the handling of containers.
Microservices became widely used when the client-server architecture started evolving based on distribution system principles. The latter ones differ from the traditional client-server model as they have multiple applications operating on different but interconnected nodes.
Microservices themselves didn’t act as a magic solution to problems. For instance, authorization errors could result in service unavailability, but this is an issue of a single component, not the entire application — thus Damage Control was introduced. So, are monoliths outdated and is there a universal need for microservices? Actually, not quite.
