What are microservices?
Microservices are a novel approach to software development, based on breaking applications down into self-contained microservices. Each of these microservices is independent, designed to handle a specific function. They can be deployed individually, and since they come with their own database, they can even operate in different program languages (a polyglot technology stack) or use different data storage technologies – whatever best suits their task.
The enormous flexibility of this modular architecture supports modularity and decentralized governance by design, so development teams can make independent decisions regarding the development and deployment of their microservice without affecting the overall application. Microservices are ideal for organizations that need scalability, agility, flexibility, and resilience.
