Microservices Architecture

Definition

Microservices architecture is a software development approach where an application is constructed as a collection of small, independent services, each running in its own process and communicating through lightweight mechanisms. This contrasts with monolithic applications, allowing for greater agility, scalability, and resilience. In blockchain development, this approach can separate different functionalities of a decentralized application or a node. It supports independent deployment and easier management of complex systems.
