This article examines the evolutionary journey of enterprise application architectures, from traditional monolithic systems to modern microservices. The article analyzes the transformation through three distinct phases: monolithic architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and microservices architecture. Through comprehensive research analysis, the article demonstrates how organizations have progressively addressed challenges in scalability, maintainability, and deployment efficiency. The research highlights the benefits and limitations of each architectural approach, focusing on performance metrics, resource utilization, and development productivity. By examining multiple studies and industry implementations, this article provides insights into the technological and organizational impacts of architectural evolution in enterprise systems, offering valuable perspectives for organizations considering architectural transformation.
