Chapter 14

1. Microservices architecture is an architectural style where complex applications are broken down into small, independent services, each running in its own process and communicating over lightweight protocols.
2. Some benefits include improved scalability, flexibility, maintainability, faster development cycles, and better isolation of failures.
3. Microservices communicate with each other through APIs, often using lightweight protocols such as HTTP/REST or message brokers in an event-driven communication pattern.
4. Service discovery enables microservices to locate and communicate with other services dynamically in a distributed environment, where the locations of services may change frequently.
5. Containerization, such as using Docker, simplifies the deployment process, ensures consistency across various environments, and allows microservices to be packaged with their dependencies.
6. Service resilience involves isolating failures, using circuit breakers, implementing...
