Overview of microservices architecture
Microservices are one of the most popular architectural patterns and have been proven to be the best architectural pattern for cloud-native application development. Microservices patterns help to decompose and structure applications into smaller, manageable, and self-contained components that expose functionality through a standard service interface. The following are some of the advantages of microservices architectural patterns:
- Loose coupling: Since the application is decomposed into services that provide a standard interface, the application component can be independently managed, upgraded, and fixed without affecting the other dependent components. This helps in easily changing the application logic based on growing business needs and changes.
- Manageability: Since the components are self-contained, it is very easy to manage these applications. The components can be owned by smaller squads for development and can be deployed independently...
