We have already discussed how the microservice architecture is a way to develop a single application containing a set of smaller services. These services are independent and run in their own processes.
In other words, we can say that microservices are a way to segregate our services so they can be handled independently of each other for design, development, deployment, and upgrade purposes.
Microservices have a lot of benefits, which are as follows:
- Smaller codebase: Each service is small, therefore easier to develop and deploy as a unit
- Ease of independent environment: With the separation of services, all developers work independently, deploy independently, and no one is bothered about any module dependencies
