The microservices architecture is a technique that simplifies complex programs by dividing them into smaller services that can still communicate with each other. Each service is designed to solve a specific business problem, such as payments or identification.
These services run in containers, making them more modular and easier to manage. They can be written in different programming languages, used in various contexts, and maintained by different groups of programmers.
Overall, microservices provide greater flexibility and scalability for software development.
