Modern Software Architecture
Microservice architecture decomposes applications into small, independently deployable services that communicate via APIs.
Benefits
- Independence: Deploy and scale services individually
- Technology Freedom: Use different languages per service
- Resilience: Failure isolation prevents cascade failures
- Team Scalability: Small teams own individual services
- CI/CD: Faster deployment cycles per service
When to Use
Best for complex applications with multiple teams, high scalability needs, and frequent deployments. Start monolithic for simple apps.
