Introduction to Microservices

Welcome to the lesson on Introduction to Microservices! In this lesson, we will provide an overview of microservices architecture and discuss its benefits.

Microservices architecture is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

One of the key benefits of microservices architecture is the ability to improve scalability and resilience of applications. By breaking down a monolithic application into smaller, autonomous services, the overall system becomes more flexible and resilient to failures. Additionally, microservices allow teams to develop and release features independently, enabling faster innovation and improved time-to-market.

Microservices architectures also promote technology heterogeneity. Each microservice can be implemented using different technologies, programming languages, and frameworks, based on the specific requirements of the business capability it provides. This allows teams to select the best tools for each service, which can enhance development productivity and enable the use of specialized technologies where they are most effective.

Throughout this lesson, we will dive deeper into various aspects of microservices architecture, including service communication, data management, deployment strategies, and more. We will also explore how to build microservices using C# and deploy them on the Azure Cloud platform.

Let's get started with our journey into the world of microservices!
