COMPUTING AND SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

1. Introduction:
Microservices specifically refer to the technique of software development that is a
primary variant of the service-oriented technique and the relative structural style properly
arranging a particular application in the form of a collection like that of a loosely coupled
service (Guo et al. 2016). Within the field of Microservices and the associated architecture,
all the existing services are either fine-grained or might as well lightweight when it comes to
the protocols.
In regards to the above definition, it can be stated that the Microservices are mostly
processes that carry out the particular communication over a specific network for fulfilling
the primary objective as well as making use of technology-agonistic protocols such as the
likes of HTTP. In addition to this, the Microservices are deployed having no particular
dependency upon some other entity (Sun et al. 2019). All of the services belonging to this
domain are arranged in a specific manner having a dependency upon the capabilities of the
respective business organization.
This report has the primary inclusion of all the information that can have an
association with the Microservices along with a proper explanation of the software
architecture. In addition to this, the document also highlights the importance of software
architecture within enterprises as well as the various types of the same.
2. History of Computing:
The concept of computing had come into existence when smaller calculations had
been done with the invention of various tools to make the entire procedure easy as well as
efficient without having any minimal errors. The first ever-invented calculating machine was
a gear driven counting tool that was titled as Schickard’s calculating clock in the year of 1623
(O'Regan 2016). Following this, a scholar named Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz had developed a

calculator that had the potential ability to calculate addition, multiplication, subtraction as
well as division.
With the invention of such calculating machines, the inventors had been able to make
use of punch card systems for the firstly invented electronic computers. In regards to such
invention, IBM is the international firm that holds the history page for developing the first
every computers working upon the concept of Microservices. In relation to this, IBM had
collaborated with Harvard to build the first ever working mechanical computer during the
period of world war II that carried the dimensions of being eight feet tall and that of one-feet
wide (Aspray 2016). This referred to the first ever-modern computer that had been developed
as well as designed having the possession of efficient functionalities. This had been primarily
developed to meet the missile guidance demands during that period.
Following this, Hewlett-Packard is a technological company that had been established
in the year of 1939 and had developed its first modernized computer in the year of 1966. It
had been titled as HP 2116A. Again in the year of 1974, HP had developed a microprocessor
ram (DRAM) mitigating the usage of magnetic cores as a form of memory during that time
(Qin et al. 2018). Following this, the first ever personal computer was designed in the year of
1975 known as the MITAS Altair computer that use to come in a box and the purchaser had
the responsibility of assembling the entire system in order to make it fully working and
functional. Such major sized computers within the field of computing had been greatly
reduced in size by Apple that is still known for compacting the entire technology in a much
smaller.
3. Use of Information System:
History of the present day Information Systems (IS) carries over a span of five decade
precisely. Information Systems have been visibly identified to be far more beneficial to the
