Microservices Explained
How To Build a Microservice Application — Part 2
Microservices are a rather new construct in the programming world that has swiftly garnered global developer attention. The idea behind it is pretty straightforward. Building small, loosely coupled and independently deployable service-like applications that do only one thing, but do it incredibly well.
You can think of the service-architecture like a city, where every citizen does one job. In this article I am going to explain the service architecture in detail, why it is so effective and what advantages and disadvantages it has as comparing to a monolithic architecture.
TL;DR
The microservice architecture is a new programming approach where loosely-coupled, independent services are a part of a bigger application and help solve a bigger problem. A microservice application is more stable and highly scalable. There are many advantages over the old, monolithic approach that are worth looking into.
