What is a microservices architecture?

Entry Microservices
Quick Answer Microservices is an architecture where an app is split into small, independent services - each doing one specific job. Every service runs separately, has its own database, and talks to others via APIs or messaging. This lets teams build, deploy, and scale each piece independently instead of touching one giant codebase.

Answer

Microservices architecture structures an application as a collection of small, independently deployable services. Each service handles a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled individually.
