Many enterprises have been using both monolithic and microservices architectures, side by side, for their IT needs. Each architecture has its own benefits and challenges, yet neither one provides an all around solution to modern day IT challenges which demand high performance without compromising on the decoupling and agility offered by microservices. In this post, we’ll discuss the evolution of persistence technologies, the pros and cons of microservices versus monolithic architecture, and why a hybrid microservices platform is the way to go.

The evolution of storage volumes and the increase in high-end transient processing engines, consisting of cache and RAM, has brought us to the era of In-Memory Computing (IMC). This golden age of IMC includes the evolution of Low Latency Distributed Microservices (LLDM).
