Lightweight: Microservices have to be lightweight in order to facilitate smaller memory footprints and faster startup times. This facilitates faster MTTR, and allows for services to be deployed on smaller runtime instances, hence horizontally scaling better. Compared to heavy runtime times, such as application servers, smaller runtimes such as Tomcat, Netty, Node.js, and Undertow are more suited. Also, the services should exchange data in lightweight text formats, such as JSON, or binary formats, such as Avro, Thrift, or...
