Picture a bicycle wheel, with its central hub and metal spokes. The spokes transfer the load between the hub and the rim of the wheel. As the hub unites all the individual spokes, energy is transferred evenly from pedaling and braking motions to the wheel, to generate and control movement.
In networking, the hub-and-spoke model simplifies the process of hosting services that are used by multiple workloads.
In traditional monolithic software architectures, there are large, complex software platforms, such as CMS, ERP or CRM systems.
