Microservices Principles & Design

Welcome to the world of microservices! This architecture breaks down a large application into smaller, independent services.

Think of it like a team where each member has a specific, well-defined role, rather than one person doing everything.

Historically, applications were often built as monoliths: a single, large codebase for all functionalities.

• Monolith: One big application, often harder to scale specific parts or adopt new technologies.
• Microservice: Collection of small, loosely coupled services, each handling a specific business capability.
