What is Microservices?
An architecture where an application is built as many small, independent services that work together
Why It Matters
Microservices let teams work independently and make it easier to update or scale specific parts of your system
Real-World Example
Having separate services for user accounts, payments, and notifications that communicate via APIs
“Understanding terms like Microservices matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
