Microservices

What are Microservices?

Microservices are an architectural style that develops a single application as a set of small services.

Each service runs in its own process.

The services communicate with clients, and often each other, using lightweight protocols, often over messaging or HTTP.

What are the Benefits of Microservices?

Microservices are small applications that your development teams create independently.

Since they communicate via messaging if at all, they’re not dependent on the same coding language.

Developers can use the programming language that they’re most familiar with.

This helps them come work faster, with lower costs and fewer bugs.

****How microservices work ** **

In microservice architecture, an application is divided into services. Each service runs a unique process and usually manages its own database. A service can generate alerts, log data, support user interfaces (UIs), handle user identification or authentication, and perform various other tasks.
