Microservices

Microservices describe an approach to application development in which the components of an application are separated into individual modules that can be developed, deployed and also scaled independently of one another.

The use of microservices increases flexibility in application development, as modern container technologies such as Docker enable different technologies to be used for individual microservices.

An application typically consists of several different microservices that communicate with each other via interfaces such as REST.

Other technologies related to microservices:

• Docker
• Kubernetes
