Microservices

Microservices is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services.

What are Microservices?

Microservices architecture structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently, each running its own process and communicating via APIs.

Microservices Benefits

Independent deployment, technology flexibility, scalability, fault isolation, team autonomy.
