Summary

Microservices is an architectural style for building software applications that focuses on breaking down the application into a collection of small, independent services, each running in its own process and communicating over lightweight protocols.

Microservices architecture emphasizes the principle of “divide and conquer” by breaking down complex applications into smaller, manageable, and loosely coupled services. Each microservice represents a specific business capability or domain, and they can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

Microservices offer numerous advantages, including improved scalability, flexibility, maintainability, and faster development cycles. They allow for granular scaling, independent service updates, and better isolation of failures. They also have several defining characteristics, including single responsibility, independence, decentralized data management, and communication through APIs.
