Microservices

Microservices, also known as the microservice architecture, is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, independent, and loosely coupled services. Each service is designed to perform a specific business function and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach contrasts with monolithic architectures, where all components are tightly integrated into a single system. Microservices offer several advantages, including improved scalability, flexibility, and resilience. They enable teams to develop and deploy features faster, as changes in one service do not impact others. Additionally, microservices facilitate continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), enhancing the overall development process. However, they also introduce complexities in terms of service communication, data management, and orchestration. Proper implementation requires careful consideration of these factors.
