Microservices architecture, or simply microservices, is a method to broaden software frameworks or a single software as a collection of numerous small services. Developing single-function modules with well-defined APIs (Application Programming Interface) is the main target of microservices. Small, self-contained groups own these offerings.

Microservices essentially makes web applications or any applications for that matter easier to develop and simpler to scale. This type of microservices application development enables innovation quicker and more reliable delivery of complex applications.

Microservices has become a new trend and is increasingly popular as enterprises look to become more agile and evolve from a monolithic architecture where all processes are tightly knit and run as a single service.
