Microservices architecture is an approach to building software applications as a collection of small, independent services that communicate through well-defined APIs. Each microservice focuses on a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. Unlike monolithic applications where all functionality is tightly coupled, microservices allow teams to work on different services simultaneously, use different technologies for different problems, and deploy updates without affecting the entire system.
