What is Microservices?
It is an architecture that breaks down large software into small pieces, each of which operates independently.
Overview
In the past, software was built as a single massive block. Microservices, however, break this structure into pieces. For example, on a shopping site, payment, cart, and user login function as separate small software components.
How it works
Each piece can be updated or repaired on its own. If one part breaks, only that feature becomes disabled instead of the entire application crashing.
Where it is used
It is used in large-scale web applications and high-traffic systems.
Commonly confused with
It is not just about breaking down the code, but also the method by which these pieces communicate with each other.
Frequently asked questions
Why is it so complicated?
In large projects, it is impossible to change the entire system at once, so breaking it into pieces makes management easier.
Is it suitable for every project?
No, it can create unnecessary complexity for small projects.
