Architects compare a coarser shared-integration design to independently deployable, narrowly scoped units with decentralized data. In official DEVCOR terms, what distinction are they drawing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think apartment building versus tiny houses: SOA is fewer, larger units with shared utilities; microservices are small, independently owned places. The exam distinction is grain, deploy independence, and data ownership—not a vendor bus brand quiz.
Full Explanation
Services-oriented architecture typically uses coarser services and a shared integration approach. Microservices emphasize narrowly scoped, independently deployable services with decentralized data ownership. That grain-and-coupling contrast is what DEVCOR architectural-pattern items target.
