Microservices

---

Microservice architecture an architectural approach to building software applications as a collection of small and independent services focusing on a specific business capability.

• A microservice is an independent, single-function module with well-defined and lightweight interfaces and operations
• Each microservice is designed to be modular
  • with a well-defined interface and a single responsibility
• allows developers to build and deploy complex applications more efficiently
  • enables teams to work independently on different application features
    • easier to scale and update individual components without affecting the entire system
•  Risks are largely attributed to integration issues
  • while individual components operate well independently
  • they often reveal problems difficult to isolate and resolve once they are integrated
• often implemented using IaC practices
  • ensures consistency and repeatability across different environments
  • allows for more efficient development and deployment of microservices
    • can independently automate the provisioning and deploying infrastructure for each microservice
