What is Microservice Architecture? Introduction to Microservice Architecture
A microservice is a modular project that has a single responsibility and performs a single job, handling only the tasks related to that specific purpose.
Microservices are among the most frequently discussed structures in today’s software world. I have been involved in many different projects developed with microservice architecture, and there were points where we implemented it correctly and incorrectly, which we later corrected. To explain this experience from the very beginning, I am starting this series of articles where I will write about what it is and what it is not, as well as best practices, where it should and should not be used, and its drawbacks.
