Microservice architecture


Microservice architecture is an architectural style of developing a single application as a suite of small independent services, each running in its own process and communicating via light-weight mechanisms—typically, using HTTP protocol.

Microservices are independently deployable components, and usually, have zero or minimalistic central management or configuration.

Microservices can be thought of as a specific implementation style for Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), where, instead of building a monolith application top-down, the application is built as a dynamic group of mutually interacting, independent services.

Traditionally, enterprise applications were built in a monolithic pattern, typically consisting of these three layers:

  1. A client-side User Interface (UI) layer consisting of HTML and JavaScript.

  2. A server-side application consisting of the business logic.
