Deep dives
Understanding Microservices Architecture
Microservices architecture is characterized by strong separation of concerns, allowing business logic to be broken down into smaller, composable pieces. Rather than focusing on a rigid definition, it is more productive to understand the components and how they can be shared and evolved over time. This architecture enables flexibility in development, as changes in business requirements can be adapted without significant re-engineering. The discussion also highlights the emergence of 'nanoservices', which are minimal, single-purpose functions that contribute to a more granular service composition.
