SOFTWARE AND COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE

1. Role in professional context:
I have been working as a software application developer in various companies that
has been making use of this Microservices architecture for developing various applications
belonging to a definite network. I have worked within the field of professional development
for developing various applications for numerous companies belonging to the field of
software development and following the basic structure of Microservices architecture.
Microservices architecture consists of the basic structure, upon which the entire
software to be developed for various purposes in regards to the technological development.
Working in the field of software development for four years now, in variously existing
companies makes me experienced enough to suggest the usage of Microservices architecture.
2. Introduction:
Within the field of computing, Microservices typically refer to a type of technique
belonging to the procedure of software development that specifically arranges the application
in the form of a service that is seemingly loosely coupled (Ojika et al., 2018). This is again
termed to be a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the relative style of structuring.
Within the architecture in relation to Microservices, protocols have a seemingly lightweight
as well as the services have a fine grain. In addition to this, it can be stated that the serviced
within the field of Microservices are eventually processes that carry out communication over
a particular network for fulfilling the objective to make use of protocols such as the likes of
HTTP. In addition to this, the Microservices and the relative architecture can be deployed
following an independent procedure. This report has the primary inclusion of highlighting the
history of computing and the subsequent usage of how information systems have become a
primary component of the existing business world (Mazzara et al., 2016). Following this, the
report includes a proper definition of software architecture and what are the main utilizations

of the same within the existing enterprises. This concludes with the various types of software
architecture that share an existence.
3. History of Computing:
In general, the procedure of computing refers to the method of carrying out simple
calculations that can be done with the help of a device without the proper usage of human
brains. In regards to the history, the early devices that had come into existence having he
primary purpose of counting was named as abacus. In the year of 1623, Gottfried Wilhelm
Leibniz had invented the first every calculating clock that was primarily driven by gears.
As a primary helping hand from the binary, the inventors at that point of time had
made use of punch card systems for developing the first electronic computers within the field
of computing. Extracting out this technology and making it use within their own work,
International Business Machines (IBM) had entered into the field of computing and making
machines that has a larger history on their official website (Guzdial & du Boulay, 2019). As a
reason, during the period of World War II, IBM had built Harvard Mark I in collaboration
with Harvard that was the first every mechanical computer having the dimensions of eight
feet in length and fifty-one feet in width. This was the first modernized computer in the
history of computing that was developed to meet the guidance of the missiles during the war
period.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) is a technological company that had been established in the
year of 1939, developing the first computer in the year of 1966. This developed computer
also worked as a controlling machine for variously existing instruments back at that time.
Following this, in the year of 1974, HP had again designed as well developed a processing
system that had the primary inclusion of a memory that made proper utilization of a random
access memory that worked dynamically. This was done to explicitly replace the exiting
