Application Programmer Interface
Microservices
Do one thing only and do it well
Example
Advantages
- Code reuse: One micro-service could be used by multiple other micro-services - i.e. even by people in different teams or different companies!
- Short timescales: Micro-services can be improved in isolation and therefore new features can be committed and delivered in weeks rather than years!
- Abstraction: Higher level micro-services can be build on top of lower level micro-services, extracting more and more value
