In this chapter, we learned about the fundamentals of microservices with the help of a few examples.
We explored the evolution of microservices from traditional monolithic applications. We examined some of the principles and mind shift required for modern application architectures. We also looked at some of the common characteristics repeatedly seen in most of the successful microservices implementations. Finally, we also learned the benefits of microservices.
In the next chapter, we will analyze the link between microservices and a few other architecture styles. We will also examine common microservice use cases.
