A microservices architecture is a type of software architecture that structures an application as a collection of small, independent services, each with its own specific functionality. These services communicate with each other through well-defined APIs and protocols, and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently of each other.
This approach to architecture is designed to address some of the limitations of traditional monolithic architectures, where all application functionality is contained within a single codebase. By breaking an application down into smaller, more modular services, microservices architecture can provide greater flexibility, scalability, and resilience, while also facilitating faster development cycles and more frequent updates.
