Strategic Architecture

Microservices vs Modular Monolith

Microservices offer clear advantages when an application has multiple independently evolving domains, high scaling requirements, or large engineering teams. However, microservices alsointroduce operational complexity, network latency, and distributed state challenges.

For smaller applications, a well-designed modular monolith is often simpler, more cost-effective, and easier tomaintain. At Tihor, we recommend architecture based on your real business requirements-never technology hype.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is API development? +

API development is the process of creating interfaces that allow different software applications, mobile apps, databases, and third-party systems tocommunicate and exchange data securely.

What is a REST API? +

A REST API is an architectural style for web services using HTTP protocols, clear resource URIs, standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and JSON data formats.

What are microservices? +

Microservices are an architectural approach where an application is divided intosmaller, loosely coupled services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

Are microservices better than a monolithic application? +

Not always. Microservices provide benefits for large complex systems requiring independent scaling, but add operational complexity. A well-structured modular monolith is often simpler and better suited for smaller applications.

Can you integrate third-party APIs? +

Yes. We integrate payment gateways (Stripe/PayPal), CRMs (Salesforce/HubSpot), marketing platforms, communication services (Twilio/SendGrid), cloud APIs, and AI models.

Can you build APIs for mobile apps? +

Yes. We design high-performance backend APIs managing authentication, push notifications, data synchronization, and transaction logic for Android and iOS apps.

Can you secure APIs? +

Yes. We implement OAuth2 authentication, JWT tokens, API gateway rate limiting, SSL/TLS encryption, input validation, and RBAC permission systems.

Can you document APIs? +

Yes. We generate comprehensive OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, Postman collections, and integration guidelines specifying endpoints, request parameters, and response schemas.

How much does API development cost? +

The cost depends on the number of endpoints, database complexity, security requirements, third-party integrations, microservice architecture, and throughput needs.

How long does API development take? +

The timeline depends on scope. A targeted REST API backend takes less time than a distributed multi-service architecture serving complex enterprise platforms.
