Understanding Microservices
Microservices, also known as microservices architecture, is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are highly maintainable and independently deployable. The microservice architecture allows continuous delivery and deployment of large/distributed applications. Implementing design patterns in microservices is crucial for solving common challenges such as service communication, data consistency, and fault tolerance.
Advantages of Microservices
- Independently deployable: Each microservice can be deployed, upgraded, scaled, and restarted independently of other services in the application.
- Improved fault isolation: Microservices limit the impact of one service’s errors on other services.
