A microservice is a type of architecture where applications are built as a collection of small, independent services that communicate with each other through API (application programming interface) calls. Each microservice is designed to perform a specific function and can be deployed and scaled independent of other services. This allows for greater flexibility, agility, and resilience in the overall architecture of the application. Microservices also promote faster development and deployment by allowing teams to work on small, manageable portions of the application at once.
