Does Servicenow solution follow either a microservice N-tier architecture (preferred) or a standard 3-tier software architecture ( (miinimum)

ServiceNow follows a multi-instance, cloud-native architecture that aligns more closely with a microservices architecture, though it has elements of both microservices and a standard 3-tier architecture.

 

While ServiceNow's architecture includes features of both paradigms, its highly modular design, use of APIs, and scalability suggest that it leans more towards a modern microservices architecture. However, for specific deployments, some aspects of a traditional 3-tier model are still present.

Hi,

 

Last time I checked ServiceNow follows a multi-tier architecture but is not structured exactly like a microservices or N-tier architecture.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Hello

 

ServiceNow primarily follows a multi-tenant architecture and It does not strictly adhere to either a microservices N-tier architecture or a standard 3-tier architecture, it combines principles from both to create a robust, scalable platform that supports enterprise-level applications and workflows.
