What are microservices?

Microservices are a software architecture approach that involves breaking down complex applications into smaller, independent services. These services are designed to perform specific functions and communicate with each other through well-defined APIs. Unlike monolithic applications, microservices are loosely coupled, allowing for flexibility and scalability. Each service can be developed, maintained, and deployed independently, making it easier to update and scale the application. By embracing microservices, organizations can achieve agility, faster development cycles, and improved fault tolerance.
