Over the last few years, developers have been trying to experiment with new ways in which they can develop applications. The aim of this is to reduce the time of development life cycles, increasing the ability to ship projects faster into production, increasing the decoupling between the components so that they can be developed independently, and improving the parallelism of the teams working on the development of the application.

With this came the development technique of using microservices, which helped in solving the aforementioned use cases. In this approach, the application is not a single large repository of code where all the components are placed together, and where a single change to any of the components requires the deployment of the whole application again. First, let's look at how the microservices model differs from the monolithic model and then see what advantages there are in following the microservices approach.
