Microservices and Webservices used in Mobile Application Development

Author: Ankit Jain

In the application development architecture there has been used two different terminologies for the development and layered architecture which are Micro services and Webservices. They provide different development styles to develop a mobile application which can be used by various mobile app development companies. Here we will discuss about their individual stability and the difference between them.

Micro Services – These service provides independent structure to different business models, it is used to break down the large component into many different small modules. All the small modules/ services consists of different processes and connect through API’s. These services can use messaging and API’s for their communication, also they do not use HTTP protocol as they work on non-HTTP backed mechanism. These services break multiple large components into peices and are designed to handle the failure and breakings of large and complex applications. This type of services provide a secure way for the large applications as breaking of any peice of small module may not affect the whole process and hence the application remains safe and runs successfully. The microservices provides a proper build mechanism for the complex applications and the breaking module of the applications help the overall application to be secure in terms of running process. Even when their is brokage in any little process it may not affect the whole application and this provide a safe build of application.

Webservices – This type of services are used to represent the functionalities of the application to some another application without any interference of the UI. These type of services prefer API rather than HTTP as they have been used to explore the application’s functionalities to some other applications. By using webservices one can easily communicate between applications made in different technologies by the help of XML, JSON, SOAP and much more. They are made up of many different operating system and programming languages therefore the application made in Java can communicate with the applications made in Android or if any application made in Android can communicate with the applications made in C# or.net by the help of Webservices. The Webservice is a technology which is integrated into any application to make them feasible for any other device or operating system, as they connect different services together into a single format. By using Webservices they can connect the different services together at a single place so that it can become easy for the user to use the applications in many different languages and device models.

Hence, by the definition it is clear that the Microservices are used to split the large application into different modules and the Webservices are used to join the different services into a single place. The Microservices are developed independently and are clearly visible kind of services, they are divided into components and provide different functionalities to run over. The Webservices differ in their size, they are not always small or large. They can vary in their size and connect with different API’s on which many other different apps are dependent. A microservice can be divided into component and this component service can be Webservice which can run different process and provide integrity in their application.

Canopus is being in the mobile application development since years and provide proper presentation of thier applications. For building a well versed application we also use different services to make it safe and secure. It is more than 7 years and we are developing applications for our clients with full dedication and enthusiasm. All of these can be possible by having the Webservices and Micro Services platform over the building of applications. We use Micro services and Web services for our mobile application development to make sure that our sevices are secure and are running successfully for each and every device and operating system.
