Microservices

Definition

Microservices represent an architectural approach where an application is built as a collection of small, independent services. Each service runs its own process and communicates with others through well-defined, lightweight mechanisms, often HTTP APIs. This design allows for independent development, deployment, and scaling of individual components, enhancing agility and resilience. Unlike monolithic applications, microservices promote modularity, enabling specific functionalities to be updated or replaced without affecting the entire system.
