What are microservices?

As mentioned in the introduction, microservices are a software architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, independent, and loosely coupled services, each running in its own process and communicating through well-defined APIs. The core idea behind microservices is to break down a complex application into smaller, more manageable components that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach aims to improve agility, scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance in large and complex systems.

Here’s a more detailed, language-agnostic description of microservices and how they are used:

• Decomposition: In the initial phase, the monolithic application is decomposed into smaller, specialized services based on business capabilities. Each microservice focuses on performing a specific task or function within the application. This division allows developers to work on separate code bases, making...
