What Are Microservices and Containers?
Microservices is an architectural design for building a distributed modern application. Microservices break an application into independent, loosely-coupled, individually deployable services. Containers are a lightweight, efficient and standard way for applications to move between environments and run independently. Everything needed (except for the shared operating system on the server) to run the application is packaged inside the container object: code, run time, system tools, libraries and dependencies.
A microservices framework including microservices and containers creates a massively scalable and distributed system, which avoids the bottlenecks of a central database. It also enables continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for applications and modernizing the technology stack.
This page provides expert tips and insights on how to develop modern applications with microservices and containers.
