Understanding microservices
Microservices architecture has emerged as a revolutionary approach to designing and developing software applications. Unlike traditional monolithic architectures, where a single code base encompasses the entire application, microservices architecture decomposes an application into smaller, independent services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and operates independently of other services, communicating through well-defined APIs.
What are microservices?
Microservices architecture is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of multiple independent services. It represents a modular approach to building software systems, where an application is composed of loosely coupled (the opposite of tightly coupled), independently deployable services. These services are organized around specific business functions and interact with each other through APIs. Each microservice is responsible for a single task, enabling...
