Abstract

ABSTRACT

Software architecture has evolved significantly in recent decades, driven by the increasing demands for scalability, flexibility, and agility in systems development. This paper explores the transition from the traditional monolithic architecture, characterized by a single cohesive block of code, to the microservices architecture, which fragments applications into independent and specialized services. Initially, systems were developed as monoliths, favoring simplicity of implementation and deployment. However, as systems grew, limitations emerged related to maintainability, scalability, and response time to changes. The paper also discusses the main challenges of this approach, such as management complexity, distributed security, and the need for advanced observability. The objective of this work was to analyze the evolution of software architectures, highlighting the transition from the monolithic model to the microservices architecture, its impacts on systems development, and the main benefits and challenges associated with this transformation. This study is characterized as a qualitative research of an exploratory nature, with a bibliographic and descriptive approach. It is concluded that the choice of the most appropriate architecture must consider technical and organizational factors, highlighting that, although microservices bring numerous benefits, their adoption requires maturity and structured planning.
