2016 heralds in Microservices, the emerging new trend in the world of Cloud Servicing. The idea is to have small highly scalable and highly available applications that run on cloud environments. Simply put, Microservices can be defined as “Loosely coupled service oriented architecture with bounded contexts”.
What it means is that, Microservices are small independent units of code, which are developed to function without any dependencies on the underlying architecture. They contain everything from the operating system, platform, framework, runtime and dependencies, packaged as one unit of execution.
