Which architecture style is the best fit for purpose to support the MonitorMe physical architecture requirements and enabling of the StayHealthy inc. business strategy?
- 24/7 availability
- On-premise, so no cloud to rely on
- Easy to install, implement and upgrade
- No single point of failures within the MonitorMe instance
- Easily to replace/upgrade without downtime
- Futureproof, scale out if needed to support additional vital signs monitoring or other requirements that increases load.
- Distributed systems
- Centralized system
- Microservices
Chosen option: "Distributed systems", because:
Distributed system enables all requirements and the other options considered did not. Centralized system lacks fault-tolerance and Microservices requires a complex architecture to run on, which is viable in the cloud but not preferable for onpremise systems.
We accepted the additional NFR effort that a distributed system requires, such as:
- Synchronisation / replication
- Auto discovery
- Load distribution
- Auto failover
