Learning about microkernel architecture
The microkernel architecture pattern (also sometimes called a plugin architecture pattern) is another useful pattern to implement microservices. It is important to note that it is also used to build other software and not just microservices. The resulting application created using microkernel architecture can be considered a product. A product is a fully standalone application that can be distributed and implemented in a simple manner without much configuration or extra scripting. The most famous example of an application or product using this pattern is the Eclipse IDE. However, many enterprises also use this pattern to develop external and internal applications.
