Microservice

A Microservice is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, loosely coupled, and independently deployable services. Each microservice focuses on a specific business functionality and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach enables organizations to build and maintain complex applications with greater agility and resilience.
