Saddam Meshaal, Anwar Saif · Peta International Journal of Social Science and Humanity. · 2023
Microservices and web services are two architectural styles SOA. From theory point of view both are SOA styles having shared principals and concerns but in more detailed specifications a lot of differences exists. As application developer I need a clear and breve overview that summarize the concerns about each of web services and microservices starting from top level theory aspects ending with the most accurate details, as a complementary aspect of this review; a detailed review about implementation protocols of web services SOAP & REST (which can be used with microservices as well). As Microservice is the latest architectural style of SOA, this also work reviewed the most important challenges of implementing microservices over web services and reviewed comparison (from aspect of loose coupling) between microservices and web services declaring that microservices is more loosed in coupling.
