Microservices
Software Development and Engineering Practices
Microservices is a software architectural style in which an application is built as a collection of small, independently deployable services, each responsible for a specific business capability and communicating over lightweight protocols like HTTP or messaging queues. It is used by backend engineers and architects at companies like Netflix and Amazon to improve scalability, enable independent deployment, and allow teams to work autonomously on different parts of a system. It contrasts with monolithic architecture, trading some operational complexity for flexibility and fault isolation.
