Microservices and serverless architectures and their integration through APIs

In this section, we will learn about microservices and serverless architectures as well as their integration through APIs.

Microservices architecture, serverless architecture, and integration through APIs are all fundamental concepts in modern software development. Let’s explore each of these concepts and their relationships in the following subsections.

What is microservices architecture?

Microservices architecture is a software development approach where a complex application is broken down into smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and maintained separately. Each microservice focuses on a specific business capability and communicates with other microservices through well-defined APIs. This architectural style offers several benefits but also requires careful design and management.

The advantages of microservices include the following:
