Introduction
Microservices are a technique of development of software that is a variant of service
oriented architecture style of structure that arranges an application as a collection of services
those are loosely coupled. In the architecture of microservices, the services are very fine-
grained and the protocols are very lightweight. There are various benefits of microservices,
they can offer several benefits to an organization, and they are very east to deploy.
The report provides an overview of the microservices architecture. The report focuses
on the history of computing and the use of information system. The report also focuses on the
architecture of software and the importance of the software architecture. The report discusses
about the types of software architecture that are in use. Microservices are very important for a
business and it should be deployed by organizations in order to gain the advantages those are
offered by Microservices.
History of Computing
The very early tools of computing were known as abacus and it was used in 300 B.C in
Babylon. The first counting tool that was driven by gear was invented in the year 1623 and
few years after a calculator, that can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division. With the assist of binary, the inventors were able to utilise systems of punch cards
for the first electronic computers (Rankin, 2018). The International Business Machines took
this technology and made it available for more use. Hewlett Packard, a company that was
started in the year 1939 developed its first computers and used dynamic random access
memory. After that, Apple I was available that was the personal computer. In the year 1981,
the Osborne Computers released the Osborne 1 computer and it was considered as the first
consumer laptop. The cost of the laptop was $ 1795 and the weight was 24.5 pounds

(Ensmenger, 2018). After this, several new models of computers were released and each one
more powerful than the ones that was released before.
Use of Information Systems
Various organizations work with huge amounts of data. The data are the basic facts those
are organized and kept in the database. Information includes data that has been put in order to
assist the company to answer the questions and to resolve the issues (Pearlson, Saunders &
Galletta, 2019). An information system is referred as the software that assists in order to
organize and evaluate data. Therefore, the aim of an information system is change the data
that is raw into useful information, which can be utilised for the making of decision in a
company. The information systems those are used in various companies can vary but the
information system have the following components (Abbasi, Sarker & Chiang, 2016):
 Software: these are the programs those are utilised in order to organize, process and then
evaluate data
 Hardware: The information systems those are based on computer utilise computer
hardware that include monitors, keyboards and many other hardwares.
 Processes: the processes describes how particular data are processed and evaluated to get
the answers for which the designed ins designed
 ‘Network: Various elements require to be interconnected to each other when many people
in the company utilise the same information system.
There are various types of information system utilised by different organizations for the
making of decisions. These include transaction-processing systems, management information
systems, decision support system and executive information system (Yi et al.,2019).
The information systems are used in various organizations for the making of decisions
and for other purposes. The uses and the applications of the information systems include:
