Microservices

What are microservices?

Microservices are an architectural patternin which an application is divided into small, independent services. Each microservice runs a specific function for example user administration, payment processing or product searchand can be developed, deployed and scaled independently. This architecture promotes Flexibility and agility in software development.

Advantages and areas of application

Microservices enable faster developmentas teams can work on different services in parallel. They are easy to scale and improve the fault isolationas problems in one service do not affect the others. This architecture is often used in Cloud environments, e-commerce systems and streaming platforms such as Netflix or Spotify, where fast updates and high availability are required.
