What is a Microservices Architecture?

The term "microservices architecture" describes an application development architectural approach. A large application can be divided into compact, independent components using microservices, each of which has its own management area. An application under microservices may invoke numerous interior microservices to build its answer for a single user request. A group of developers usually oversee a distinct codebase for these services.

A good instance of a microservices architecture is a container, which allows a workforce to concentrate on creating the services rather than managing dependencies. A microservice can also be deployed with Kubernetes.  

Use Cases of a Microservices Architecture  

Microservices are typically utilized to accelerate the development of applications. These are a few examples of how microservices architecture is used:  

1. Assets for Media

Allows the storage of photos and video assets in an expandable object storage system and channels them straight to smartphone or web devices.

2. Handling of Data

Offer support of the cloud for definite modular data processing systems.

3. Migration of Websites

Enables a smooth switch from a monolithic platform to a cloud-located and container-located microservices platform for a complicated website.

4. Billings/Transactions

Ordering and processing of payments can be divided into different service units. In simple words, if invoicing fails, payments still go through successfully.
