The microservice architecture has gained momentum in recent years and is gaining popularity in large-scale web application development because of its modularity and scalability. Microservice architecture can offer almost all the features of a monolith that we saw in the previous section. Additionally, it offers many more features and flexibility and so is often considered a superior choice for complex, large-scale applications. Unlike the monolithic architecture, it's quite difficult to generalize the microservice architecture as it could vary heavily depending on the use case and implementation. But they do (generally) share some common traits, which are as follows:
- Microservice components are loosely coupled. ...
