Microservices

Microservices are an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each microservice is designed to perform a specific business function and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently from other services. This approach contrasts with traditional monolithic architectures, where an application is built as a single, unified unit.Microservices communicate with each other through well-defined APIs, typically using lightweight protocols such as HTTP or messaging queues. This modularity allows teams to utilize different technologies and programming languages suited to each service's requirements, fostering flexibility and innovation.The microservices architecture enables continuous delivery and deployment, as changes in one service can be made without impacting the entire system. This leads to improved agility and resilience in development processes, allowing for quick iterations and more robust applications. However, it also introduces challenges in management, monitoring, and ensuring consistency across services, requiring effective governance and orchestration strategies.
