Microservices can be seen as an extension of the basic idea of modularity, programs connected by message-passing instead of direct API calls so that they can be distributed among multiple services.
Why are microservices so popular? It’s basically due to the combination of two factors:
- cloud computing and the need to scale up and down quickly.
- Cloud computing makes it convenient to deploy thousands of small services; scaling makes it necessary to do so.
