Microservices architectures

Microservices approaches decompose monoliths into collections of independent, reusable services. These loosely coupled services communicate through well-defined interfaces using lightweight protocols such as REST/HTTP.

Microservices environments involve numerous discrete services developed and deployed independently. This dynamic system presents challenges in exposing cohesive APIs to clients, handling cross-cutting concerns, and coordinating services.

Application gateways are crucial for microservices to do the following:

• Aggregate numerous microservices into unified logical APIs exposed to clients. This decouples clients from volatile backend implementations.
• Implement service discovery and dynamic request routing to backend services, load balancing across instances.
• Handle cross-cutting concerns such as security, monitoring, and reliability in a centralized place, avoiding code duplication across services.
• Enable releasing updated...
