An architectural style that structures a software application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services, each responsible for a specific business function.
Microservices are like a fleet of independent delivery trucks—each one handles a specific route (function), and they can operate separately or together to deliver the overall service.
An e-commerce application might use microservices for managing inventory, processing payments, and handling user authentication, with each service operating independently.
Microservices allow for greater flexibility, scalability, and resilience, as each service can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.
Microservices can lead to faster development cycles, easier scaling of specific features, and reduced downtime by isolating failures to individual services.
Design services to be as decoupled and autonomous as possible; use API gateways for communication; ensure robust monitoring and logging for each service.
Overcomplicating the architecture with too many microservices; difficulties in managing inter-service communication; inconsistent data across services.
Service response time, service failure rate, deployment frequency.
