Microservices are a modern architectural approach for building web applications as a collection of small, independent services that work together. Unlike traditional monolithic architectures, where all features are tightly integrated, microservices allow developers to build, deploy, and scale components individually.
What Are Microservices?
Microservices are loosely coupled, self-contained services that handle specific business functions.
Each service communicates with others via APIs (often REST or GraphQL).
Example: An e-commerce application may have separate microservices for user authentication, payment processing, product catalog, and order management.
