Microservices have rapidly emerged as a popular architectural style, breaking down applications into small, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled individually. Microservices offer a robust method to address a variety of projects, such as e-commerce platforms and content management systems, enhancing scalability and boosting productivity. This technology, when employed correctly, can greatly increase software delivery speed and system resilience, making it a crucial skill set for modern technology professionals.
