Introducing microservices
A microservice architecture decomposes an application into loosely coupled, independently deployable services that own their data and communicate through lightweight protocols. It breaks down large applications into smaller, self-contained business capabilities, enabling faster development, easier scaling, and better fault tolerance. Microservices enable continuous delivery and agile development by allowing teams to independently build, test, and deploy features. You can imagine an application as an orchestra, where each microservice is a musician playing their part, but in perfect harmony with the others, to create a beautiful symphony.
What we’ve just mentioned sounds like a silver bullet but as you know, nothing is free and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problems we face. The same applies to microservices.
We, as software developers, love to learn new trends and try to apply them to our practice. But after delving into the details...
