Implementing Microservices: Insights and Use Cases
Introduction: What Are Microservices? In the rapidly evolving world of software architecture, the microservices approach has emerged as a popular design pattern for building modern, scalable, and resilient applications. Unlike monolithic architectures, where different components of the application are tightly coupled and run as a single unit, microservices break the system into smaller, independent services that communicate over well-defined APIs. Each service in a microservices architecture focuses on a single business function and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This makes it easier to maintain, update, and scale applications as they grow in complexity. In this article, we’ll explore how to recognize microservices in a system, implement them, and understand their key benefits—through the lens of a practical use case for blockchain-based academic document verification with biometric authentication.
