What is Microservices?

Definition

Microservices is an architectural style where an application is built as a collection of small, independent services. Each service runs its own process, communicates via APIs, and can be deployed, scaled, and updated independently.

Why It Matters

Microservices enable large teams to work independently on different parts of an application. They allow individual services to scale based on demand and use the best technology for each task. However, they add complexity in deployment, monitoring, and data consistency.
