Self-Contained Systems (SCS) vs Microservices

Self-Contained Systems (SCS) vs Microservices


  • A microservice is probably smaller than an SCS. Of course it is possible to split an SCS even further so it consists of microservices. There are usually fewer SCSs than microservices.
  • SCSs should ideally not communicate with each other while this is fine for microservices.
  • SCSs should favor integration at the UI layer. Microservices typically focus on integration at the logic layer.
  • SCSs have a UI, while microservices might separate the UI from the logic in its own service.
