What is Microservices?
An architecture where applications are built as small, independent, deployable services.
Microservices is an architectural approach where a large application is built as a collection of small, loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service handles a specific business capability and communicates via APIs. This contrasts with monolithic architectures where all functionality is in a single codebase. Microservices enable teams to deploy independently, scale individual components, and use different technologies for different services.
